West Coast Shows 2009 - Cancelled. |
|
|
The management and organisers of the
West Coast Shows for 2009 regret to announce that due to circumstances outside
of our control, including persistant misleading rumours, that there has
been insufficient uptake to warrant the continuation of these shows. We extended
the cut off date till after last weekend in order to raise entry levels but
these were not forthcoming. We have therefore had no choice but to take this
action.

Halter Class |
|
|
 |
A halter class is defined as a class where the horse is judged based upon its conformation.
One of the most popular show classes. The purpose of the class is to preserve American Quarter Horse type by selecting well-mannered individuals in the order of their resemblance to the breed ideal and that are the most positive combination of balance, structural correctness, and movement with appropriate breed and sex characteristics and adequate muscling. |

Showmanship at Halter |
|
|
|
Available only in the amateur and youth divisions.
 |
The showmanship class shall be judged strictly on the exhibitor’s ability to fit and show a horse at halter.
The horse is merely a prop to demonstrate the ability and preparation of the exhibitor. The ideal showmanship performance consists of a poised, confident, neatly attired exhibitor leading a well groomed and conditioned horse that quickly and efficiently performs the requested pattern with promptness, smoothness and precision. The showmanship class is not another halter class and should not be judged as such. |

Western Pleasure |
|
|
 |
Maximum credit should be given to the flowing, balanced and willing horse that gives the appearance of being fit and a pleasure to ride.
A good pleasure horse has a free-flowing stride of reasonable length in keeping with his conformation. He should cover a reasonable amount of ground with little effort. Ideally, he should have a balanced, flowing motion, while exhibiting correct gaits that are of the proper cadence. The quality of the movement and the consistency of the gaits is a major consideration. He should carry his head and neck in a relaxed, natural position, with his poll level with or slightly above the level of the withers. |

Western Riding |

|
 |
An event where the horse is judged on quality of gaits, lead changes at the lope, response to the rider, manners and disposition.
The horse should perform with reasonable speed, and be sensible, well-mannered, free and easy moving. |
