If Western Pleasure Horses Moved Like This, Would People Still Complain?

Every time we publish anything regarding western pleasure it seems like we get a flood of negative comments regarding the sport. Unfortunately there are good parts and bad parts of all disciplines.

This video was taken at the AQHA World Championship show in the western riding class. The horse is flawlessly performing lead changes and his ears are forward with a happy expression. Is this what you would like to see in the western pleasure class? Is it still too slow? We would love to hear your thoughts.
