I'm so excited about this friday. We are having the 2007 4-H horse judging contest at MTSU. It is an awesome competition when you judge the horses on conformation and performance. Conformation is when you judge their overall body muscle and structural correctness. Performance is when you judge the horse on the specific class. For instance, Western Pleasure, you would want your horse to be quiet, calm and consistent with a loose drap of reins and a responsive horse. Hunter Under Saddle you want your horse to extend the gait a bit more and you would want more contact with the mouth. It may sound confusing and hard, but once you get the gest of it, it's really fun.
