Willowvale Lodge Performance Horses

Originally derived from the day to day grind faced by America's Pioneers of the 'Wild West', excerpts taken from their daily chores were refined and the 'old ways' executed in competitions. With the popularity of these competitions, early western performance shows emerged incorporating different events. Today western performance shows are big business with horse and rider competing in many and varied events, and for some quite substantial prizes. Listed below are just a few of the 'Modern Day' events seen at a show. Led Classes ~ The Led class or Halter Class as it is known. A Horse is judged according to a correct breed standard. The successful entrant is, in the Judges' opinion, the most correctly conformed animal in that class on that day. English Ridden Classes ~ This Class is judged in Traditional English Attire. Again the horse is judged according to a standard. The successful entrants are acknowledged for their responsiveness and ability in an English setting. Western Ridden Classes ~ This class is judged in Western attire. The Horse is judged according to a standard. Successful entrants are acknowledged for their responsiveness and ability to work in a calm and controlled manner. Western Trail Classes. ~ This class is judged in Western Attire. The horse is judged according to a standard. Successful entrants are acknowledged for their ability to negotiate various 'set' obstacles and manoeuvres. Reining Classes ~ This class is judged in Western Attire. The horse is judged according to a standard. Successful entrants are acknowledged for their responsiveness and ability to negotiate various 'set' manoeuvres
