What is Western to You?

Since here on EV the only western sport you are allowed to compete in is broadly titled "Western" I'm sure this has caused many of us to use our imaginations as to what exact kind of western riding sport we are entering our horses in. Whether it be Western Pleasure, Reining, or Barrel Racing to name a few, What discipline do you imagine you are training your horses in for those of you who choose Western as your specialty?

Working Cow Horse

And it irks me the western bridle has a shanked bit versus an o-ring snaffle but I suppose nothing is perfect.

here on EV, I imagine my Appies showing in western pleasure classes.. However, I'd totally prefer reining horses!! That would be so neat, to be able to train reining horses.. maybe have their specific stats be agility ( yellow apples ) and intelligence ( green apples) omg that would be sooooo cool!! Windspun's Reining Appys!!lol

 Yaaa, I know I know, its not gonna happen but its a neat thought...so I'll stick to imaginin my horses showing in western pleasure classes.. lol

I imagine mine as barrel and cow horses, plus the odd trick riding horse.. lol.

Hmmmmmmm......... I suppose my Appaloosa's would be Cow Ponies, Paints be Reining, Western Pleasure, and Halter. and Quarter Horses be Barrel Racing of course! :D

Love them all so much! ♥ 

One thing is for sure, my ultimate goal is to have the flashiest horses on the game, with the best conformation ever!! ♥
