Book 3: Analyzing Functional Conformation for the Western Disciplines
This book focuses on horses used in the various Western disciplines, specifically Reining, Cutting and Barrel Racing and includes information about Working Cow Horses, Ropers and Steer Wrestling mounts.
“This is such an exceptional book that I cannot begin to explain the excitement I feel towards this concept of conformation that Judy Wardrope presents. At this moment this concept might be above the way you have been taught to think. However, if you will persevere in this thought and truly make this a life time study, you will make great strides in training and riding horses that are built to do their job,” said Lynn McKenzie, two-time World Champion barrel racer, two-time NFR winner and a respected clinician.
“Although my personal interest is in dressage, I was utterly captivated by this book from the moment I first opened the cover,” said Ceci Flanagan-Snow, a published equine photographer and writer. “It is well written and illustrated with hundreds of relevant photographs making the concepts easy to understand and remember. I hope that this book, and its siblings, accomplishes Wardrope’s goals of improving the wellbeing and longevity of competition horses through helping horse people to understand and implement the principles of functional conformation in their breeding, purchasing, training and exhibiting programs.”
