Who Is Your Western Pleasure Idol?

Whether home town hero or someone you see in all the famous magazines...who would you most like to train or ride with?

Cleve Wells! I love his tapes! He trained Zips Chocolate Chip.

There's a few of them..I'm training with my main one's now though...

Pat and Dean Ross

Pat & Dean do a really great job from what i have seen. I would think it would be great to have an AQHA judge as a trainer. Easier to keep up with what they are looking for.

So far it's been terrific however before anyone goes in to training there is one thing they need you to understand - outside the stables it's fun..but as soon as you step inside and touch a horse then you are down to business. They are the sweetest people ever but once you get inside the barn you're there to work and they won't sugar coat anything...which honestly, I'm not complaining about. I've worked my butt off for three years to get accepted with them and now if they want to tear me apart and drag me behind my horse through the mud - so be it..heh..okay..maybe not THAT extreme but..I really want to make the most of my time with them and so far I'm so impressed and I just hope I can measure up soon to the other riders they've turned out..I'm making the trip down there tomorrow so I'll possibly have some pics to show off when I get back..

Gigi Bailey, my trainer, judges too. She's judging the world show soon, so everyone has been *really* nice to her lately

I can relate though, because it helps a lot. Honestly, I'd say three years ago she started to work on getting my HUS horse's head up. Judges have all the inside info

Cleve wells is AWESOME (he can be my second pick) but I'd love to train with Rusty Green. He's tallented at so many things- that Do You Wanna Dance horse that won the HUS at select world he picked out, he's shown in working cow horse, and he's shown some of the greatest western pleasure horses I've ever seen (Its a Good Life I LOVE).

you do know that Guy died right... How did you do at Congress? do you have pics?

pleasure queen · 11-10-2004 11:05 AM

Of course i know guy died, thats why i said i wish i could have had a lesson or two. Died last yr right after youth world on his way home. Anyway congress was fabulous had a few mistakes, had the perfect pattern in showmanship, had a big smile on my face because so many whistles, when to go do my quarters and didnt move for some reason, so i ended up being late, and the darn crowd went awwwwwwwwwwww lol so of course. Trail was excellent had a great go, was used on two cards, made it in the finals in the eq, lol i had a great go in horsemanship but a tough cut, carolynne and nicole where in my cut. But it was cool. Hunter under saddle i was used under two judges

bummer that was probably his best go.

I was happy with the horses performance, cant wait till next yr. You going to sun circuit

ill see you there. Im an amateur now
