QH Congress EQ Over Fences going on now

Oh yeah, and I’m loving the music, beats the heck out of the tear in my beer country music in the cutting classes they used to play. :winkgrin:

What class is in now? Missed it when they called it - these riders don’t look terrible

I missed it too, but I think it’s 14-18 youth.

Was 4305 nice or was it just me?

Been watching a little here and there. What division are we on?

ETA: That one seemed small. Not that I’ve been paying much attention though…but maybe it’s the class I need to take my AQHA in to get a ribbon?? :smiley:

Some gold hearted horses in the last jumper class! A couple missed distances and flyers ! Extra pats and treats hopefully :slight_smile:

Why are people making comments here about the tails? Many of these horses (if it’s like any other AQHA type show) are used for multiple events both western and english.

Not so much at Congess anymore. Most horses at this show are doing hunter or western now.

Really so they don’t have them doing the multiple classes for the points like at the AQHA shows?

Some of them look very much like Western Pleasure class horses…the way they are built and styled.

All hunters look the same to me! Slow and boring :lol: I wish my horse would go that way but, alas!

What I’m really wondering is: can I get the playlist for this show?!

Congress is an AQHA show with other classes thrown in. Just a HUGE one. :slight_smile: But usually people ride horses that are either hunters or western type horses. I highly doubt any of the horses showing in the hunter classes are being shown in western pleasure regardless of how some people seem to think they look like one. I’d also lay odds on there not being many working hunter or equitation horses even being shown on the flat though there will be some cross entries between HUS and Hunter Hack and Hunter Hack and Working Hunter.

Because people find the huge extra fake tail distracting.

At least, that is why I would be commenting on it.

I am not sure what other classes the horse may or may not be showing in has to do with the tail though. I am sure if there is a horse that does more than one division it is properly adorned for whatever the exact class is, not sent in with that other class in mind.
