Class overview:
The working western rail class measures the ability of the horse to be a pleasure to ride and should reflect the versatility, attitude, and movement of a working horse. The horse should have a natural flowing stride, with a natural head carriage. The movement of a working western rail horse should simulate a horse needing to cover long distances, softly and quietly. Riders will travel the perimeter of the arena simultaneously, changing gaits at the discretion of the judge.
