Re: Re: David Boggs?? How about Us???

Perhaps the high profile of the Arab show world makes it appear the norm. 
We do hear far more about the abuses of show horses than we do endurance
horses.  I don't think abuse of any kind would be tolerated for long if at
all in endurance...and I do think it is uncommon.  Perhaps I am naive.  I
guess it is easy for people like this Boggs fellow to overshadow the people
who show their Arabs because they love them, not for the money or prestige
involved.  It is probably the courage of one of them that brought Boggs to
justice.... let's keep that in mind in our sport, too.  As a newbie,
sometimes I feel as if my opinion or observations don't carry much weight
and I don't question some things I see that maybe I should (wouldn't want
to appear to be a bad sport).  Food for thought...
