Re: [RC] [RC] A sad story for AERC - Diana Peterson

Geezhhh...people ...what are you all so upset about...this guy will not make it thru the first vetcheck if he rides like that. ....problem solved, horse saved and he is off his "high horse ".

I still concider myself a newbie after 3 seasons. I always learn something at every ride. I ride to finish ... and i have won ...when i have finished. :-)

God is good.

geez, you guys, chill! Just being a newbie does not either indict or absolve
one from the responsibility of both learning and performing correctly in
this environment. It DOES require a level of humility, and in addition, being a
veteran requires an even greater level of both top notch performance (and I
don't mean winning) as well as a willingness to offer help - and the wisdom to
know when someone is simply too selfish to want to take good advice. Make
sure it is GOOD advice. Honestly, just don't read it if it bugs you - but I
think most of us can learn something on one side or the other of this situation.
I for one want to steal this guy's horse so he CAN'T ride it into the ground.
I am guessing I would have to stand in line though:).

In the end, it appears that a level of appropriate shame would help a great
many societal problems these days. Few people feel shame for their bad
manners, rudeness or even cruelty. Shame is a tool a good thing, a learning device
- at least it can be. This statement:
Too bad you, and others, think that shaming other people is an acceptable
form of education.

it really IS true - it IS a learning tool! It isn't a huge criticism. I for
one am glad a little shame now and then can set me straight. Don't you think
it would be a great tool for this dude who likely has no business being on a
horse let alone in public and in a competitive venue? I didn't think the
original author was slamming anyone on the list. Kind of was preaching to the
choir. Anyway, it must be too cold or wet or something and no one is riding and
gets grouchy:). Me too - off to find my HRM for the morning.
