Show Ring Ready: Turnout Critique #17
http://showringready.blogspot.com/2015/06/turnout-critique-17.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. This week's featured horse and rider exhibit fantastic turnout that wouldn't look out of place in any hunter or equitation division at a horse show, but their turnout is even better when you consider that they're competing in the Short Stirrup division! Overall, this is a polished, elegant pair who are doing a fantastic job of showing off the horse. My critiques are very minor and I am sure that when they step into the ring, the judge knows that they are there to compete.
