Working Western Division: 
a) This division promotes a more natural working type of western horse. Free-flowing stride, correct gaits, and proper cadence will be emphasized. Headsets are not to be emphasized; the nose should not be behind the vertical. Artificial gaits will be penalized. Appearance of intimidation, excessively slow or unnatural gaits, or depression will be penalized. Examples of unnatural or artificial gaits are a four beat lope, or walking in the back and trotting in the front when at the trot. Horses will not be penalized for not being clipped. Silver shall not count over plain, working tack. 

No cross entries are allowed for any horse between divisions designated Western Pleasure Division and Working Western Division.
