sounds like since you have him on a trial, then this is enough time to smack some sense into mom.

great questions to ask her


is this for YOU or for your daughter?

you do realize it will be another year till she can possibly show this horse, and by then, she will have probably lost interest

do you want to frighten your daughter on the back of this horse?



and, I'll be the WP person who chimes in- NO, TBs don't show in WP, the only time I have EVER seen one show was an old mare, who was a lesson mare at a farm, who was a jack(ie) of all trades. she was just a plug, that anyone could ride. and so, she did western pleasure on occasion.

but, have I ever seen a semi-serious TB showing western? no. I have seen them EXTREMELY successful in the gymkhana pen, and I have seen them at cow sortings, and a few small ropeings.
