Christine....quick! There is a horse on Kijiji listed as a "drisage" prospect for only $350.00! You were looking for a drisage horse weren't you? You have to look past the fact she is reining/cow horse bred, has a super sloped illium, and a low set neck...

I think people see their horse trot pretty and think "dressage!". Or a horse that trots slow and think "Western pleasure!". My favourite is the untrained horse that jumps out of its pen and so is then labeled "jumper prospect; has jumped 4 feet!")

It is funny sometimes to read what people list as their untrained horse's best future careers. Recently there was a 15 hand, unstarted 7 year old pinto/arabian listed primarily as a jumper prospect...yes it may be able to jump (as Tommy can), but I highly doubt that is the market you should be aiming for, and they are likely loosing out on potential buyers looking for an endurance/show prospect which is what this horse would better suite.

I wonder if western people look at my ad/videos of Tommy and see my breeches and helmet and think I am similarly crazy....
