As I've mentioned, my daughter has a young horse she's training. She wants to compete on her at an amateur level and is open to a few different disciplines. Because of that she'd like to have her horse do what she'd like to do. Reining, working cowhorse, whatever she'd be best suited for. Just no barrel racing because it so often turns them into nutbars and she still wants to show her in local shows. She'll have her as an all around horse that has fun but just wants to really focus on one thing.
Any suggestions as to how you figure out what your horse prefers? At this time of year there's not much going on so it's hard to find activities to just try.
horse to a couple of thing's your daughter is most interested in? no pressure on her young 633995 horse, but maybe letting the horse observe some different activities she could get an idea of the young horse's reaction, and watch it's ear's, and overall interest. funny but when george watched horse's hauling log's, he decided it was going to be what he was going to be doing for a living, and would still rather do that at almost 20 yrs. old. yeah, winter rain does put a limit on what can be done, especially to avoid 
boredom.
She has cow horses in her breeding. What kind of disciplines was your Daughters horses ancestors involved in? Maybe that would give her some ideas to look at.
