haha, that may have come out a little abrupt. I'll add halter horses to the statement as well though. They are nearly useless in my world. Quarter horses are supposed to be versitile athletes that can move cows in the morning and rodeo at night. Most halter and pleasure horses could do neither of those very well. |

Really? That is a pretty naive statement. I’m pretty sure people like Charlie Cole, Jason Martin, Leslie Lange, and at least a dozen more I could name off the top of my head could easily be top hands in any discipline they decided to ride.

| I’ve had the pleasure of watching both Zippos Mr Good Bars and Vital Signs Are Good perform in the flesh. Both were spectacular! While pleasure might not be my cup of tea, I can appreciate a talented horse that is a gorgeous mover. Vital Signs Are Good was in a class all by herself. Her ability to change a lead was beautiful to watch. She was by far one of my favorite show horses of all times. Zippos Mr Good Bar was also beautiful to watch move.
The quarter horse has become a specialized breed in every event. Barrels are no different. We’ve bred them to do a specific job and do it very well. But none of them could get anything done in a show pen now. The days of what the original QH was bred to originally do have long since passed. That doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the ones that are truly magnificent in the area they excel in. |

Isn't diversity what makes the quarter horse industry interesting? Most of the people on here are way too young to remember the days when we went to AQHA shows and rode in everything and were good at everything. Ok, back to modern times, check the pedigree of PERKS ADVANTAGE AQHA world champion in Jr Barrels. His bottom side is almost all pleasure/halter breeding. His mother is double bred IMPRESSIVE(no, Impressive was never raced). Certainly not what I would pick for a barrel horse but don't judge what a horse can or can not do too quickly. This horse belongs to a friend and though he is retired due to a major injury, his pleasure breeding certainly didn't keep him from winning some major events. If any horse has made a big contribution to the Quarter Horse industry they need to be in the Hall of Fame. Note that Trippy Dip is not even a Quarter Horse |

I had a pretty awesome show horse in my youth days named Soar With The Wind. He had multiple Championships, superiors in halter, pleasure, western riding, trail, horsemanship, showmanship. We rarely showed him English, but when we did he usually won.
I have an ‘87 model with points in something like 10 events standing in my pasture named Debits And Credits.
Conclusive actually sired some really nice barrel horses. There was another really big halter sire that had a winning barrel horse. I’ll have to think of the name. A little girl had him and did extremely well. It wasn’t Temon.....the stallion had a one word name but I’m drawing a blank... |

Location: Aubrey, Texas | You’re right, Streakysox, and Three Bars was TB as well- I think he had a pretty positive influence on the QH breed. I was really thinking more along the lines of ranch horses and cowboys when I posted earlier. I guess my post did come off a bit snarky. |

I might also add that the paint in my avatar can hold his own in English and trail on any given day. I am sure he will never make any hall of fame but he is 2013 Res Champion in poles and top 10 in Barrels. So when you say pleasure and halter horses need to be banned from a hall of fame, you may be leaving out some multi talented horses. |

Location: Aubrey, Texas | I think if y’all will take a deep breath and look back at the original post that started all this, you’ll see that it referred to working cattle and rodeo- as in roping and bulldogging. You’re talking mostly rail classes (in a very controlled, groomed environment) and barrels. |

Just for curiosity, which are the roping and steer wrestling horses? |

I’m afraid I didn’t make myself clear. I was referring to my original post, which was in response to Whiteboy’s post. I hope that clears things up for you- |
