Rose has this great blog she's been working on that has wonderful information from her experience as a sound TWH trainer called Anything Equine. I highly recommend reading this blog to learn more about TWHs and asking questions about the sound TWH, both as a pleasure horse and as a Performance horse. Also check out Rose's website to learn more about her and her books, www.rosemiller.net.
I hope everyone enjoys Rose's blog and books!

I just can't agree that sound padded horses are a good move :(
I am looking forward to reading her thoughts on conformation, etc.
I agree, Funder. But I think her point is that we have too many people who are entrenched in the look of the padded horse, and I have heard that the USDA doesn't see any reason to eliminate pads, stacks, chains and bands (probably because it would also affect the ASB community, and they certainly wouldn't be happy). So I think her point is to start getting judges to look for more fluid moving horses that don't have so much crouch. A BL horse can go sound, it just takes hard work and training. We need judges to start rewarding that work rather than rewarding the fix.
