This is basically just me ranting about how people think Western riding is so much easier then English. PLEASE NOTE, this is not meant to be offensive to any English riders out there. I'm just trying to show people that both disciplines are equally challenging and hard. I'll also add some Western disciplines with a brief explanation and some pics/vids

Do you know what it is like to be locked in a cold, dark and damp barn for at least six months, all alone, basically abandoned by people you though you could trust? Yeah me neither. It would be an awful feeling though wouldn't it, and whether you are a human or a horse, no one should ever have to go through it. But a horse did. A horse that did nothing to deserve it, one that because he experienced this trauma, may be mentally damaged forever....

At one point in time, Hailey Love was both a competitor and a trainer in the equestrian world. She was a veteran in the all-around show circuit, which included both Western and English disciplines, but new to training and showing her own horses in those competitions. After an unfortunate jumping accident at a high-level show jumping competition that resulted in the death of her beloved horse and partner and what could have been (and quite possibly escalate to be) a life-changing injury, she vowed to never show in that area of competition again. For a little more than seven months, Hailey completely disappeared from the eyes of the equestrian world, as both a trainer and a competitor. Eventually, Hailey returned to her home town, and home barn, to try to start over and heal from what remains of the wounds she suffered, whether they be physical or not. But what will occur when someone shocking appears before her, asking for her to train him for the upcoming show season? Reference for Competitive Horse Show Rules AQHA Executive Committee.

"There I stood, waiting for my walk of shame. The arena lights slowly brightened as I stumbled out of the concrete hall, the heavy stacks on my hooves clunking against the cold, hard ground. The pain immediately shot through my front legs and I tossed my head, but my rider yanked on the reins. I shifted my weight and my front legs struck out, and I started out on my big lick. The pain was overwhelmingly excruciating and I had to throw my legs up higher. My human dug her spurs into my sides, making me cover more distance. All this pain, I couldn't stop thinking about it...all this pain..." -This book is based on Tennessee Walking Horse soring and this book is a piece of fiction, but the facts in this book are all real
