Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.




Job 39: 19-24

Why predominately Western?

At my county 4-H fair, they have a total of about two English riding classes. Well, maybe a couple more, but in that range, at least.
How many classes do they have for Western riding? Hmm, lets actually go to the fair-book for this one. The answer? Three, actually. Plus four that are Western or English. However, I'd bet that most of the riders in those Western/English classes are Western. At least two are specifically English, and one other of the Western/English actually has the English name for it too...
Why so predominately Western?
