Do you similar to horse shows? Why?

What is it about horse shows that you like or dislike and why?
i love them!! i love waching how the horses move and wut the rider dus to keep up with there horse!
I love showing!! It is something to work towards and give you somewhere to go in your training. You can set goals and when you finally be paid it to the show, you feel so accomplished. It is also very thrilling to compete and show bad your stuff. The competitive drive makes the adrenaline go through your body. It's also nice to get a ribbon or prize as a result of your accomplishments. Plus, it's profusely of fun to get involved in the show world and meet clean people. And about the dressage and jumping- I used to compete in hunter when I first started showing, but immediately all I do is Dressage, Show Jumping, and Eventing. They are a lot more thrilling and not at all judgemental (except I don`t know slightly in Dressage). Plus, the days don't seem to drag on as long like beside hunter shows.
Shows are fun. You get hold of a chance to show off your skills and your horse to a group of judges and spectators. Sometimes there's even money involved surrounded by the prizes! I started showing when I was 14. My very first show was a hunter show, I have 3 classes that day, a walk class, a totter trot class and a trot class.. I placed 3rd 5th and 7th in those classes on my VERY first show! I be so excited, I didnt expect to place at all at all the first time! It was exciting and I get to meet some of the other riders and became friends with them! It's a GREAT expirence!
I love to compete but not at a show. I prefer dressage or jumping. The grounds? You can spend all day cleaning your horse and your tack and keeping him clean and doing a great show and whether the judge doesn't like your horse then at hand isn't much else that you can do or not do to improve your sucess.
With dressage or jumping you know exactly what you did right or wrong and what to do to upgrade your score and the judging is fairer because of this.
no,boring
I love showing. Not only do I take to show off all of my hard work next to my horse, I get to watch everybody else too. I love being competent to watch the open classes where the trainers whip in the really nice horses. I also have friends from all over and when we jump to shows, we get to see each other and catch up.
i love horse shows. i love showing off adjectives of the hard work that i've put into my training, and just having fun beside all of my horse friends and cheering each other on. and looking nice is fun too, especially within western. and making my horse look fabulous. there is just so many things to love!
and victorious is pretty cool too. lol
I totally agree near Debsie, I have recently found a new love for dressage- why? Because near is always something you can improve on, and like Debsie said, you know precisely what you did right or wrong. I also love jumpers, mostly because I can't stand hunters and the stress- I have never ever had a honest round in hunters, the stress gets to me and my horse.
I don't like the horse shows where on earth you ride and judges look at you because it is just based on the bench opinion. If the judge likes Grey's later a grey will probably come first so i think that kind is unfair. I approaching show jumping and eventing because if you do something wrong it reflects contained by your placing so if you want to do well its completely down to you.
I love competing!

I love horse shows because it gives me a chance to show off adjectives the training, effort and hard work me and my horse put in. Not to mention showing rotten my boy and the hours I spent polishing my tack and iron pressing my riding attire. lol!
I feel a sense of pride whether I win a ribbon or not. It's exciting and incredibly fun!

To the girls below: Don't get me wrong! Dressage is my No.1 subsequent to jumping.
But do love to show. It's a good feeling when you and your horse is adjectives decked out in your best and you can say to yourself "Damn.. We look good".
Doesn't matter whether you don't win ;) What matters is that you feel good.
Answers:    I love showing!! I've always be a "ring rider" and working to enhance my equitation and my horses way of going as a team. I've always ridden at/with show barns. Showing enable me to have goals and to work towards something and then albeit one or two law lords opinions, a feeling of accomplishment. Plus it makes adjectives the schooling and lessons worthwhile.

I also like the whole piece of setting up our home away from home beside our stable colors and tack and dressing rooms. Being around others and meeting new relations with the same goals contained by mind. I like the hustle and bustle of grroming and cleaning tack and dressing properly and the whole shebang!! I resembling the feeling of being on the edge and the excitement of adjectives that it entails.

The part that I dislike is the politics involved at times and poor judging as capably as people showing too early when they do not know the basics such as wrong diagonals and lead...and the rider doesn't correct themselves. I also don't like sore losers and bad sportsmanship.


LOVE EM!
Well, it isn't really the competing I love but the bathing and making your horse look so beautiful. I also LOVE to see adjectives the other riders and their horses.
I love horse show, I love to watch them be in them and I get to sway out with other people like me. I am a highly competitive person so I like to hang out around race who get where I am coming from and don't get affronted by my personality. its just fun to hang out around the horses and see empire who are better than you and people who aren't as good as you are, its fun to give warning and get advice from people who spot the things you own done wrong. Its good to watch the shows to pick up on things you should work on and how they are really done, but in adjectives its just a great experience.

Hope this helps

Ugh, I revulsion them. It's so stressful to prepare for and the class is kind of fun, not really. :/
i similar to them when i'm not actually showing. i like going to them and schooling around and watching people from my barn compete, but as soon as i'm the one contained by the show ring i get really nervous.
Height and mass a problem?   Some tips for around the barn?   Is it ok for a gelding/male horse to wear pink?   I hold a couple question just about Cowboy Christmas at MSU December 5-7th. :) Especially more or less Versatility?
