Penelope was shown in the Arabian circuit and in Country English Pleasure classes. But she could be shown Hunter or even Dressage. She doesn't "explode" or act silly. She's nice and steady and a very, very soft mouth. She was shown in Country English Pleasure. According to the Arabian rules - this is what it says: To be shown at a walk, normal trot, strong trot, canter and hand gallop. It is mandatory that horses be asked to halt on the rail, stand quietly, back and walk off on a loose rein at least one direction of the ring. To be judged on attitude, manners, performance, quality and conformation, in that order. It is imperative that the horse give the distinct appearance of being a pleasure to ride. A quiet, responsive mouth is paramount.
