This is a great article and addresses many points I've noticed since I've had Leo. Even when I'm placing higher and putting in better scores than the Tbs, Warmbloods, and other breeds, I still hear that Leo is 'pretty good for a Standardbred'. It should be 'pretty good for a horse.'
I especially like the end of the article that states,
"As a general rule, Standardbreds may not gallop as fast as a Thoroughbred. Standardbreds may not make the reining horse a Quarter Horse will make. They might not jump as high as a Warmblood. That's not to say a Standardbred won't gallop as fast as a Warmblood. It's not to say a Standardbred won't make the reining horse a Thoroughbred could be. It's not to say a Standardbred won't jump as high as a quarter horse. The Standardbred is a horse; Accept it as one."After all, like this article says, they have four legs and a tail too.
