 What did I do wrong? (  islandponi 01-23-2011 02:54 PM  What
did I do wrong? Why did I get last in this western pleasure
halter class? Grooming wise, not showmanship. (Which I still
don't understand the moving sides when the judges moves sides.)
natisha 01-23-2011 03:00 PM  I'm no judge but at first glance
the halter is not properly adjusted, the noseband should be half
way between the nostril & eye. Also hoof black would help. That
could have been the difference between your horse & the others.
If it was a WP class they may have been wanting to see a short
mane though I really like your horse's mane & wouldn't shorten
it for a halter class. I think besides those things your horse
looks marvelous.  Scoope 01-23-2011 03:04 PM  I dont know
western much, but from the photo - to me at least , hooves look
dirty to me, and mane looks a bit off at the bottom - don't know
if this could be why?? and it is muddy by the looks of it - so I
dont know , jus
