What are the best models to live show: OFs or CMs?
Depends on the show. Most shows I have been to have separate divisions for OF and CM. But if all are together then it really depends on the individual horse. If you have a poorly customized model and a wonderful OF, then the OF will be the better choice. Performance divisions generally group OFs and CMs together, so for each class it’s very important to evaluate which model would have a better chance if entered. While a CM in a cutting position will be better for the cutting class than a standing OF, the standing OF would be a better choice in English Pleasure than the CM cutting horse. If you want to show a model in a number of performance classes, a model with an action pose like a walk or trot is a popular choice.
