If you picked mostly As…

You’re WESTERN PLEASURE all the way. You like your gaits smooth and relaxed, and you’re always dressed to the nines.

If you picked mostly Bs…

You should be RUNNING BARRELS. You need a 1D/2D barrel horse. You want the action of fast starts, fast stops and agility.

If you picked mostly Cs…

COMPETITIVE TRAIL is for you. You want to go racing through intricate courses that test both horse and rider.

If you picked mostly Ds…

You need a REINER. You are refined, intrigued by process and always in control. Not to mention that slide and spin. Who else can do that?

If you picked mostly Es…

You are headed to the rodeo to do a little BULLDOGGING. You are ready to run that line and drag a steer to the ground. Nothing but speed and a straight line will do.
