Kathy,
This is a really huge statement, and I agree. The
race venue is not the place for learning things such as manners, no tailgating
etc to take place; a horse HAS to learn certain things that can only be learned
at a ride, such as pacing in a crowd, staying out of harm's way when one
encounters a bad actor; camping nicely, eating well in a fracas, etc. At my age
and stage of life, I don't want to find out that it is Yayhoo buckaroo when a
horse whizzes past - at a RIDE event. EEK! If this happens, I did not do my
homework. Frankly, I am more concerned about my horse just leaving camp half the
time. The food thing...
