Here's why:
* Howrse is a game: It's a simulation, and while it tries to be realistic, it doesn't perfectly reflect real-world horse breeds and their suitability for different disciplines.
* Horse skills: On Howrse, a horse's suitability for a discipline is determined by its skills. You can train your Chincoteague Pony to be good at both Classical and Western riding, regardless of its breed.
* Personal preference: Ultimately, the choice of riding style depends on your personal preference and what you enjoy doing in the game.
Here's a breakdown of why people might choose either discipline:
Classical:
* Elegant: Chincoteague Ponies can be very elegant, making them suitable for dressage.
* Agile: They are known for their agility, which is helpful in jumping and other classical disciplines.
Western:
* Strong: Chincoteague Ponies are sturdy and strong, suitable for western disciplines like trail riding and reining.
* Enduring: Their hardiness makes them well-suited for longer rides and endurance events.
In conclusion, it's up to you to decide which discipline you think best suits your Chincoteague Pony on Howrse.
Remember, it's all about having fun and enjoying the game!
