>>> I like the "show style" better. "Five-gaited style" makes you think everything is ok when you ride them four-gaited but it goes bad when you start riding them five-gaited. And I don't think forcing the gait is the only problem with this style of riding.
But suppose a new person shows up on the list, as happens all the time. How would they know when we say, "show style riding" that we aren't talking about western pleasure riding, or hunt-seat riding, low level dressage, or a more natural type of gaited horse showing? My daughter used to show some, but she never rode even vaguely like what we're talking about. It's too vague to have any meaning.
