WHAT!!!  You mean your arab or my paso should have the same low head 
set and shuffling gait as the qtr horse if we are all riding in an 
open western pleasure class?  I don't think so!!!  I believe arabs 
(or morgans or any other breed) have their own standards for western 
pleasure, etc. and any judge worth his or her salt should know the 
difference.

Linnea & Pesadilla - how won't shuffle for anyone!
