Two disciplines coming together.

Being so involved in both cutting and jumpers I often hear one talking bad about the other.  Saying things like western riders are weird and put crazy colors and tack on their horses and english riders are all snobby.  But really we need to all come together. We use all the same training and ride our horses alot alike.  Yes, western horses are considered ponies in the jumper world and jumpers are to leggy to ever try a western sport. But we really use all the same starting for our horses and in the same ways are alike. Its amazing to have horses that are so well trained, so whatever our discipline is we need to make sure our horses have solid back ground training.
