Western Pleasure Riding
One of the most popular classes within the spectrum of western riding is the western pleasure class. It is a typical class for beginners to the show ring to acquire experience and control over themselves in a show scenario. In contrast to events like reining, western riding, trail, and others, in a pleasure class the contestant is not alone in the show ring. He/she can "hide" among a group of other competitors and is not judged individually.
Of course, hiding among fellow competitors isn't what western pleasure is all about, but for the novice show rider it usually helps enormously not to be the only one under scrutiny and not to feel the eyes of all the spectators focussing in on him.
In a pleasure class, one can get used to being in the show pen. To be sure, winning a western pleasure class is NOT easier than winning any other class! In order to win or do well in a pleasure class, one needs to stand out in the crowd - which is the more difficult the more riders compete in the class.
Being competitive in a western pleasure class necessitates knowing what the judge is looking for - and being able to present your horse in that way. What is the judge looking for?

6th Jan 2002 Three Pronged Promotion Strategy
Let's take a look at some common horse business marketing perceptions:
1) I tried advertising once, but it didn't work.
2) I don't need to advertise - I rely on word of mouth.
3) Marketing and advertising are the same thing.
4) I can't afford a marketing plan and don't have a marketing budget.
Marketing...advertising..budgeting..planning...
It's true that marketing is a broad topic. It can make any horse business owner dizzy to try to figure out how to get started. By building a fundamental understanding of marketing, you will take the first step to winding your way through this multi-faceted maze of options and opportunities. Formulating a three pronged promotion strategy is a good first step, and will form the backbone for any marketing you do.
