Good points Spots.

And win she did. Doesn't make it right. At least the mare is getting the kind of rider she deserves, one that doesn't overbit and brutalize her.
Back to my bat cave .......

Respectfully back - essentially, she IS an in house jockey.

Remember when ML started this venture? How polite and gracious she was? She came close to getting another YC at Jersey. She now seems to spread sweetness and light wherever she goes - not.

If it were up to Lauren, I have a feeling this wouldn't have happened. She has to do what the horse's owner and "manager" says to do - and consider that she may have to have the qualification for...

Ha. Horsemanship? Good luck with that!

I'm also surprised by the lack of response. I feel outraged, but I guess few others do. Not only two competitions in a row, but hauling from Jersey to Georgia? And we wonder why our horses seem flat.

Doesn't Karen "manage" Veronica? The whole thing is sickening.

Deltawave, you are my hero!!

Thanks everyone - riders, volunteers, officials, staff - who came together to make the weekend happen seamlessly in very difficult weather circumstances. I especially enjoyed hanging out for a while...

Congratulations to Shelby Bradley who won the One Star Closest to Optimum Time Award sponsored by English Riding Supply. Her prizes include everything for horse and rider except for boots. Not too...

XC starting at 9 Am beginning with Training, jog up for CIC 3 and 2 Star at 10 am. It's been a feat getting everything scheduled and rescheduled depending on the whims of the weather. Major kudos to...

I'm glad you "got it." Anything for a laugh!! I wonder how many others understood the (not-so) subtle irony!

The weather forecast changes more often than i change underwear. We have "Ice Horse" from California coming to demonstrate two of their super cooling gadgets on XC day. They run on a battery, and you...

I may drop in!

Very few facilities in the country are set up - or perhaps would want to - host the multi-disciplines at NAYRC. It is absolutely NOT a money making venture for an organizer. Au contraire, it's a...

Very well said, Deltawave. That is indeed our current problem with the sport in a nutshell!

No we don't - but we have good hot dogs!

Brrrraaaak - wrong again. Malcolm is the USEF/FEI National Safety Geek (or whatever it's called). Too bloody confusing, too many committees!

I believe it's the Professional Horseman's Committee, not Safety Committee. I think Gina has taken it over. She was co-chair with him.

... AND three guesses who that "certain competitor" was - (and the first two guesses don't count).

Kudos to you Jill!

Only for "unsportsmanlike behavior at a recognized competition." Organizers are not protected in the least against incidents like this and fear being sued. I'm aware that Darren has "fulfilled" all...

I'm afraid that FEI competitions are destroying the National Levels and the events that run just National levels. Riders are so intent on qualifying that they opt to go to the competitions that offer...

I believe he's also entered OI at Stuart the next weekend.
