Good on you Nikki, for standing up and saying what many of us are actually
thinking, but have felt uncomfortable about voicing. I too have witnessed
some apalling sights on the trail and over the finish line. Unfortunately,
the culprits seem (so far) to have been overlooked, unintentionally, by
officials etc. I guess it's really our responsibility to comment and perhaps
shame these people into treating their animals better, or to report to Ride
officials or Association committee's. This also includes bad manners on the
trail and endangering other rider's safety. Sadly, it is often the horses who
suffer, not the perpetrator, who just goes on to another horse! I have seen
examples of this a lot!!?? perpetrated by riders who have been around the
scene for a long time and should know better. BTW my comments in no way take
away from the success and accolades for those who have deservedly won BC
awards.
