Re: [RC] Fun vs Competition - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonMaryanne, You are absolutely correct. There isn't any reason that Fun and Competition can not be one in the same. What I was trying to communicate is how we 'join' an organization and what we expect out of the governing body. I may have lost that thought in my communication. Very interesting about Scrabble and Bali. My family did the same! And it was fun and it was great whether you beat the pants off someone or not. I loved trying to use all of my letters and hit two triple word scores. I have done that once in my life...flippant over the top of the word 'or'. The pinnicale of my success. LOL. Therefore, yes, I want to see fun and competition at rides. I don't want it to be at the expense of any horse. And I want to see all of my friends doing the same thing. And I don't want to see the organization that I have joined reinvent their wheel to 'ease' the socioligical implications! I personally feel we are raising a country full of whiners with this type of philosophy! Kid falls off a horse and the parents sue for wreckless endangerment..hence liability waivers they have to sign stating this is a DANGEROUS sport! What did the kid learn? How to get back up on the horse of life when you have fallen off? Probably not! D'Arcy D'Arcy L.
