How do you feel about "Park Hunters"?

  • Because of their conformation, a correct Morgan will have a big, scopey trot. Just don't pick up their heads or weight their feet and I'm ok with it. (52%, 114 Votes)
  • I actually prefer a "big and bold" hunter. It makes the classes more exciting. (21%, 45 Votes)
  • "Big and bold" my @**! That is NOT how a hunter is supposed to move. (20%, 44 Votes)
  • I don't like them, but I didn't want to pick the answer with "@**" in it. (7%, 15 Votes)

  • It might make sense to require qualification for Regionals, but changing it for Nationals will make showing too expensive. (8%, 11 Votes)
