| void my point isn't that literally any horse could be capable of it, but that any horse might have the drive and traits to be able to go up the levels. obviously you don't want to take a lazy thick WB beyond something like Novice because of how much conditioning and stuff it takes. but a small horse or a horse outside the "look" of what a "typical" UL eventer looks like can happen. just look at all the "$500 out of the slaughter house" horses have been incredible athletes |
| El Cuco |
| I'd say any breed can do it, some are more likely to excel at it than others, and overall it just depends on the specific horse. Some can, some can't, and their wellbeing is always first priority. |
| The Old Gods |
| Yeah, that's definitely not true. If you try to put just any horse through upper level eventing, you're going to have an injured horse |

| I have a tb and qh mix with a slight paint gene, shes 6 years old and shes been working with me for like 2-3 years now, shes a really good 14-15 second runner lol |
| El Cuco |
| Oh yes, she was the best girl ever. She's retired now and just gets food and massages. |
| El Cuco |
| It's a shame because my first trainer said my seat was just naturally better in western saddles. Hurt my soul a little lol. I suppose those disciplines just weren't exciting enough for me. |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| and hey if little Teddy and Karen O'Connor can do UL eventing I feel like any horse could |

| A cheap quarter horse and a dream is the only real dream making starter pack <3 |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| didn't we all Cuco /lh honestly I'd love to try more western stuff--I've been meaning to dip my toes into working eq and the local SCA cavalry but I'm having to work up my mare from scratch so that might be a little more time before that happens |
| El Cuco |
| There's plenty of western stuff around here. I tried it out with a barrel racing friend when I was a kid, but I never cared for any of it. Growing up I was convinced I could do FEI show jumping lmao. Keep in mind, I had a cheap quarter horse and a dream. |
| El Cuco |
| Well, I was a wannabe eventer, but my mare didn't like dressage so we focused on SJ. |
