Re: [RC] Letters to the World -- showing - Chris PausI go to one Class A show a year for grins and I haven't been disappointed yet. I watched a huntseat class where the second place rider was so horrible, she literally clung to her horse's mane to hang on. That horse did an amazing job of balancing himself and her. She was flopping on his back like a fish on the beach. Her trainer was Mr. Big Name who has moved from KC to Scottsdale... That's just one of many examples I've seen. It just blows my mind how hard the poor horses try despite the terrible riding. chris --- Peggy&TracySnyder <whirlwind@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I too agree and I am a (X) Arabian show person. I have seen more than I wanted at the shows and If the high up trainers the big name ones are in the class it doesn't matter what they come in on they are sure to win. Peggy ===== "A good horse makes short miles," George Eliot Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus ============================================================ Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
