What is Western Pleasure Horse Riding
Western Pleasure is a well-known western riding discipline that aims to emphasise a horse’s smoothness, responsiveness, and calm disposition whilst being ridden. As the name suggests, it is designed for riders to showcase how much of a pleasure their horse is to ride. The ability of the horse to provide a comfortable ride in all three gaits – a walk, a jog, and a lope – is the main element judged in this popular western discipline.
