Re: [RC] [RC] Red Ribbons, Tailgating & Kicking (and obnoxious people) - RHONDA LEVINSON

I have a young mare that I am starting, and on her very first trail ride ever, she kicked at another horse. On her first CTR, three years later, I was pretty sure she wouldn't kick. However, at that ride, a person cantered past us repeatedly. The other rider would get ahead and slow down. We were keeping to a steady trot, so we'd pass. She'd canter past and slow down, etc. The fourth time, my mare had a hissy and kicked. At the next ride, I put a red ribbon in her tail and the judge actually had a kind of nasty comment about it until I explained that why it was there and I understood it was a training issue for me that I was working on by getting her to move her butt to face away from other horses until they passed.

I don't understand why a judge would have a comment about people trying to be safe.

Rhonda
