Amazing run

[@allenhughes12]

That horse changes lead faster than I can change the TV. (edit) To the folks saying that this mare and rider look dead or miserable, you probably wouldn't know a Quarter Horse from a Volkswagen.

[@myronschabe]

This is a really neat mare. Don't like that back with the head flexed to the chest but this mare deals with it nonetheless. Hope she stays sound. Anyway credit to her.

[@ratherbfishing455]

They used to penalize for a headset like that. They have ruined reining.

I Just Love Him Is He For Sale Right Naw

[@DrCam-to8ip]

beautiful run, absolutely incredible. however, am i the oly one bothered by that saddle fit?

[@ratherbfishing455]

It's really slapping. The horse looks out of it, so it won't care.

[@dfaeaalfrdup73]

😍👍💯

[@myronschabe]

This mare does not look unhappy in the eyes -- she is a colored breed and her eyes are an unusual color so they have a different look. Same with Appaloosas, btw, they, by nature of their coloring have sclera or white around there eyes, so they have a different look and that should not be held against them like they are bad tempered or something.

[@ratherbfishing455]

Horrible headset and the way the trainer moves his hand :( Did they numb the tail? It does not move?

[@ratherbfishing455]

@Victoria Ferrioli Quarter horses appear to have dead tails :(

[@ratherbfishing455]

@Victoria Ferrioli It's sad. The horse and trainer look like they're miserable. It's like doing liposuction and dilating eyes, gingering, etc. There was an Arabian horse trainer who was fined and not allowed to show, because he had a horse's tail cut because it held it crooked. It's sad that trainers barely make it, and owners don't care. I stopped showing on the National level after 40 years when a customer wanted her horse's foot numbed.

I turn the sound down,can't deal with it.stop were so so,horsewill stop better if their nose ain't on the ground.

[@markmahnken6409]

The rider counter balances with his hands on every stride. When his hands are supposed to be going forward they are going backwards. Makes him look out of balance and counter productive when he's supposed to be urging his horse forward he's pulling the horse back. The Futurity Champion looked awkward the entire run. Who taught this guy?

[@ambieeeT]

This is some of the worst riding I've seen. That poor horse too. And wtf is that saddle fit!? The horse looks like he is in pain, you can see it in his eyes. He also doesn't appear to be enjoying his job. Very tight and very unbalanced horse.

[@sabrinawinthers8520]

Amber Tracy do you even understand how in shape and BALANCED these horses have to be to do these patterns so beautifully? Don’t open your mouth about things you don’t have a clue about it makes you look dumb as hell.

[@abbylapano390]

The ignorance. I’m heavily offended

[@melissamobile5712]

Are you a 4 million dollar rider?

[@ratherbfishing455]

The ears look dead and the tail does not move? The tail look numbed or cut.

[@ratherbfishing455]

@@sabrinawinthers8520 The horse looks dead. It doesn't move its ears or its tail.
