ponies, based on the conformation

same events as the stock type, but

Horse.
The pleasure type is presented in a
natural manner and is suitable for
general western, English, and
driving events. Its conformation is
associated with the Arabian or the
classic Morgan breed.
The saddle type is suitable for the
same events as the pleasure type and
