Yes we have been so disgusted for so long that we took up another sport -
endurance! When I hear from some list show "exciting" stallion halter was or how
BEAUTIFUL the Jr Stallion was....I just cringe. What people value in an Arabian
ought to make the entire "industry" shrink in shame. Ick. Those are not using
horses, in the main, and as such are ABSOLUTELY not breeding quality horses,
either. At the same time, it is no badge of honor to breed competent but
butt-ugly - if one is breeding arabians. There is a huge gray area, and
indeed some of the most competent Arabians over the decades have been beautiful
as well.

Ugh, in
deed. Don't get me started. On another list, there is a big discussion
about this year's nationals and how well David Boggs did. He's back and
brought Magnum Psyche with him. Boggs' horses won 4 classes, I guess,
I've gleaned from the chatter. I don't follow nationals or showing much at
all, so am not in tune with that...
If that's the case, is there any
hope for AHA? Even the people who love the show ring are
getting disgusted.
