Hello, I am new to “Above Level”. Actually pretty new to the Morgan Circuit. I have a Morgan gelding I love dearly! We have worked very hard together (without a trainer) to get to the point I think we may be ready to try the Morgan circuit. I feel some pressure that we might be at a disadvantage already for not going to the shows with a trainer. From what I have seen it seems like most riders do have a trainer, or even have a trainer riding their horse. That being said, my primary focus is western pleasure. I have my horse shod with just “regular” horse shoes. When he is home he is a “normal” horse, out to pasture, trail riding etc… But My daughter and I would also like to show him hunt seat. It seems like the hunt horses are mostly shod with special shoes & pads. I have read the rule book regarding shoeing. It specifies that shoes aren’t even required. But that length of toe in Western Pleasure or Hunt Seat shall not be longer that 5″. So my question is firstly, what is the “typical” or standard way of shoeing a Morgan Western Pleasure horse? Secondly, from a judges point of view will we be discriminated against in the hunter classes if he is not shod the same as most of the other horses with shoes, pads etc…? Thanks for any information on this subject!

Wildfire (aka Dolly) is for sale.  Dolly is a true black mare with no white markings. ($5000.00)

She has been ridden on the high country trails of the Oregon Mountains. She is very trail broke.

“Taz” is a 15.2, four year old gelding who would be
a great mount for a junior exhibitor of any age.
Whether it be walk trot, 13 & under or 14-17, this
guy can rev up for your gamest rider or quiet down
for someone who doesn’t need as much horse. He
would also do well in the amateur masters division,
as he can carry just about any size rider. If you are
looking for a horse that needs to be suitable for more
than one person in the family this is your guy.  His
most recent show was Mass. Morgan where he was
third in the Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse class out
of 11.
