The Need for "Speed" The Journey to a USA National Working Equitation Championship. Nothing like a little adversity to build character I always say. "We all know the toughest journeys have the sweetest rewards."~Patty Carlson. The need for "SPEED"! I have to admit that when I first learned about Working Equitation, I was not crazy about the speed phase. When I look at all the YouTube videos of WE, I see a lot of horses that appear that they are on the muscle. Don't misquote me; those horses are very talented and great athletes, but I think some of them can use some suppling. Up to this point of Carbon's training, it has been all about going slow and correct with our own style. Now, I am asking him to go fast, but trying not to lose that softness and style I have worked so hard to maintain. I have a few a personal goals. I said to Carbon: "If we ever do this WE thing, I want you to be noticeably soft and supple." I don't want us to look like a European doing WE. I want to bring to the table the American working cowhorse style. Well after two regional shows on the East Coast and 6 months of hard work, we have made lots of improvements. If you look at Carbon's progress, I think you will agree that he is getting better with time, but we still have a ways to go. Our next goal is to go overseas and compete internationally. It would be nice to be the first American to compete overseas. I expect that a trip to Europe will be a big learning opportunity. We went into this phase not really knowing how we stood in the standings. After placing 2nd in the dressage phase and stumbling over two obstacles in the EOH phase, I thought our chances were very slim of pulling off a championship. Carbon's best phase is the dressage and his weakness is the speed, but he gave me his best and that is all I could ask for. This little adopted Canadian PMU horse, has lots of try and heart, what a rockstar he is. Enjoy the video. I think this is one of his best runs to date. On a side note, pay attention to the gate obstacle. Boy! Carbon has struggled with this obstacle all year. He has made big improvements on this obstacle, he rocked it this time. I personally need to work on the lance more. I have yet to get the ring in competition, luckily you do not lose points for not getting the ring. Special Thanks to: Sierra Nevada Lusitanos...
