What's happened to western pleasure these days? It's gotten WAY to slow, and the horses are hardly doing true gaits. It used to be a lot faster, but still relaxed. Some horses would be able to lope pretty slow anyways, but the western pleasure lope is ridiculous! My horse walks faster than that.
It's a shame we can't show off our horses' true gaits; everythings about being trained to go slow now.
