Well said. I'd like to see the National Championships have a minimum
weight like international, then focus on top 10. At Big South Fork this
fall the co-winner on Saturday weighed in at 275! I've looked at the size
of some of these horses the heavyweights are riding and I'll bet my 165
lbs. is at least as great a percentage of Kaboot's body weight as their
211 lbs is of theirs. I've felt bad before when someone from a higher
weight division than myself finished ahead of me, but were 2nd in their
division...then I got a "1st lightweight" award and they got nothing for
carrying more weight and going faster! The weight divisions sometimes
hurt more than help to reward the extra work.
Julie, do you have the article the Western States Foundation printed when
they dropped the minimum weight requirement?
