The Mountain Pleasure Horse
There are tons of horses you could think about getting, but one of the
best is the Mountain Pleasure Horse. These are horses that have been,
pretty much, unchanged from when they first came about. In fact, these
horses were first developed to help out in the Appalachian region
during the late 1800's. Most of the time, a Mountain Pleasure Horse is
a type of horse that is used as a Tennessee Walking horse. They are
made so that they can walk up in high places without getting scared of
heights. In fact, that is a big problem that a lot of other people have
with the horses that they have. When you live in an area that is high
up, it can be hard to use a horse. When they see that they are up high,
they tend to freak out. This can be bad for you and the horse. The
Mountain Pleasure Horses are of course, the answer to that problem and
have been for a long time now.
It is hard to find any Mountain Pleasure Horses that are the same.
These are breeds that vary a lot in the look and size. Some of them
have a lot of Spanish features and others look like the larger breeds
of today. However, no matter what they look like, they do have a
certain size and hands high range that they have to fit into. Mountain
Pleasure Horses have to be between 14.2 hands high and 15.2 hands high.
Not only that, but they are suppose to weigh about 850 to 950 pounds.
You will also notice that Mountain Pleasure Horses usually come in one
solid color. This does include gray colors and roans.
There are many things that people like about Mountain Pleasure Horses.
One of the best things that people like about them is their calm
temperament. This is something that the Mountain Pleasure Horse has to
have if it is going to be in high places, like on top of mountains.
Even if you do not ride the horse in high areas, a lot of people still
like the Mountain Pleasure Horse as a riding horse because of how calm
they are. This is the perfect starter horse for anyone that is learning
how to ride. This horse also tends to do great with families. They do
not like to be alone, and they really do not like to be work horses
either. These are not show animals at all. They are not super fast, and
they can not jump very high. However, it is important to keep in mind
that this is not what these kinds of horses were made for. These are
horses that were made to just be used as a great pleasure riding
horse.
Either way, you can not go wrong with the Mountain Pleasure Horse. It
is a breed that a lot of people have learned to love, and they are
going to keep loving them for a long time. If you want a breed that is
perfect for family life, then the Mountain Pleasure Horse is for
you.
