Super talented in one discipline or good allrounder?

[Madam_max]

OK, I know quite a few horses that are really good and I mean really good at let's say dressage, but DO NOT do anything else. Would you rather have a horse like that or one that was a Jack of All Trades, let's say at RC level. I know if depends on each persons ambitions, but just curious really.

Can i have a super talented all rounder ?

 

[milliepops]

Does eventing count as one discipline? Super talented eventer please

 

[BFG]

I think unless you are competing at the top level it is nice to have a horse that can do a bit of everything.

 

[katie_and_toto]

Allrounder

 

[Madam_max]

No

I am talking about horses that only go in the school to jump and dressage and have heart failure walking around the block. I'm am not talking about donkeys as all rounders, I am talking abut RC horse, that hacks, jumps, dressage etc.

I would like a good allrounder thats good at everything but not great at anything

Shame. Well in that case I'd go for an allrounder

I'd get bored only doing one thing all of the time, and sure the horse would too.

 

[golddustsara]

A nice safe allrounder for me

Which is what I have... well not entirely sure about the allrounder bit as he hates dressage but will do it when pestered

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

I have both and much prefer my allrounder !!

My Showjumper hated dressage with a passion and wouldnt jump a twig on the floor

where as my 4yo (allrounder) is so easy and if the girls at the yard are doing something i can join in whatever !!

Oh. Well, in that case I answered your poll wrong

I opted for super-talented in one discipline as I only really SJ, but PF and A both hack as well, and if we were in the UK I would certainly have had a bash at other disciplines/show classes so perhaps I should've gone for 'good allrounder'

Suer talented in one discipline if I had to choose. Luckily Pip is both allrounder and talented
