Western Horsemanship brings light hands, subtle cues, and an appreciation for the ultimate benefits derived from a true partnership between horse and rider. The concept of “lightness” and subtle cues grew from its acceptance. They found that the result was good for both horse and rider.
KCRFTHA Spring Horse Show includes all the Missouri Fox Trotter classes you can handle! The last class is the Champion Fox Trotter class (no canter). The show includes all the other classes you can handle too. Includes open gaited classes, open classes for all breeds and all ages. This is a Pony Express Horse Show Circuit and KCRFTHA point show.
