5:45 Is this amount of head tack needed? Is this type of bit how you express love for your horse? Please help me understand the need for all this metal and straps.

I'm surprised to see the show is in Oklahoma, I thought only quarter horses were in Oklahoma

[@bluemoonsy]

The nationals were in Oklahoma City for years, then alternated between Louisville, KY and Albuquerque NM. Now it is back in Oklahoma

Natural, no fake tails, or, built up hooves. I love the native costume class.

[@equine2020]

Take back my comment of fake tails. Looks as phoney as the saddlebreds, & Walkers. Just hope their hooves aren't built up. Guess that's why I like the Native custom classes. It's natural.

Obviously, you don't know Arabians are shown NATURAL. Their tail bones are shorter, fewer vertebrae in their back and the extreme tails flag naturally. Go to a show and look for yourself!

@@l.eagleeye6870 This is confusing. As my 1 post states Arabians are natural.
