Re: [RC] [RC] Tevis winners - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonIt's the man thing! LOL! Just kidding...however, I do recognize that a lot of people that have negative comments about horses are, in fact, scared of them! Very interesting! Then there is the other half that are scared of them but absolutely in love with them. I know a woman, in Florida, that runs a top dressage facility with the top winning Arabian Mare - in dressage. You know what...she has never ridden a horse a day in her life! No kidding! I was absolutely floored when she told me that. Her knowledge, expertise, and ability to manage never indicated that she had never been up on a horse - EVER~ D'Arcy --- Chris Paus <chrisnstar@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: --------------------------------- when I was a newspaper reporter, had a running debate with teh sports editor for 7 years about this very subject. He thought the horse did all the work and horse sports aren't TRUE SPORTS. I asked him about the olympics and said horse sports have been part of the olympics since the time of the ancient greeks. No comment from him. He said it was a girl sport. I said, girls weren't allowed in the olympics in ancient greece and weren't allowed to compete on horseback in the modern olympics til when, the 1970s??? I said what about auto racing, doesnt hte car do all the work, the driver just sits there. no comment asked him about polo. Said it's got everyting that otehr field sports do... it's got bats, an object to hit, goals, referees, points... Tried for all those 7 years to get him to ride a horse with me.uhuh, he was SKEERED of them, hahahahaha ""Let your efforts rise above your excuses," Denny Emerson, Gold Medal Olympic equestrian Chris --------------------------------- Local listings, incredible imagery, and driving directions - all in one place! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
