Need information on the Western Pleasure Debate?
I have to write a huge college paper about a trend/controversy. I know that there's a huge debate in Western Pleasure. I'd love to write a 10 page paper on it, but I have to have information about the new rules and judges views on the issues. If anyone could send me websites or magazines that could help that would be excellent.
I know that, I show in western pleasure. I know that there has been controversy on the headset, the gaits and on passing. I've heard that its hard on the horses knees in the long run to the slow jog. Also I was going to talk about the term "peanut roller"

I would think it would be hard to write a paper that long on this subject. B/C is less of a controversy then a trend. I would think soring of TWH would be a better issue as that is more controversial then WP. The head set on WP horse and the lope is more of a trend and with rule changes have been put into place to change that trend as the judges keeping rewarding the same thing.
Hope that helps.
Also you might want to try some of the delphi forums as there are more WP on them then here.

first I agree with nrha, second, the term "peanut roller" is sooooo old that type of horse is not being placed or even seen in the high levels of WP like the Congress and World shows. AQHA's are bred to have natural ability, with flat kneed, low hocked deep slow legged movement, necks that come out flat from the withers and strong toplines....the rule is the poll should not be lower than the withers. Putting a headset on a top WP horse is pretty much nothing these days and is just part of good conformation....Using terms like that just make people like myself who work hard and train top level horses, angry.....I think do an article on soring TWH is a much better topic.
