So sorry to hear about the donkey. I was really hoping the guy would come around.

Wondering if this guy is a "dairyman" what sort of shape the cows are in? Scary to think this is an "animal...

Sure! As long as I had a hunter rider (not an eventer) to ride him.

That is how our contract works as well.

I agree that this does happen. But there ARE cases when people are mature enough to deal with it diplomatically as well. I think sometimes it has more to do with WHY the person is leaving rather...

I wondered the same thing . . . is there a "30 days notice clause" in your contract? If so, I would expect you would be obligated to pay March board.

In my experience, the 30 day notice...

It is DENGIE!

And I love it! They have several different varieties, inlcuding one WITOUT molassas, for those that need to watch the sugar intake! I have regularly fed it to those who have...

If the USEF won't ban him, and show management accepts his entries, there is still a way to get him gone . . .

If every other exhibitor at a show where he has shown up at refused to compete,...

I wasn't there so I can't say, but from the photo posted above, it does not look like the horse purposely dumped Todd. Looks to me like the horse fell down (his knees and face are buried in the...

Just a thought with regard to seeing "outgrown" in sale ads . . . in some instances maybe the "outgrown" part refers to ability rather than height. For example, a rider who is ready to move on from...

Thanks Hanna's Mom! Now I wonder why CWV7 couldn't have said all that a zillion posts ago? Would have be soooooo much easier!

Personally, I do not feel that I am owed an explanation, and I hope that I have made that clear in previous posts. Yet, I would like to have one! However, the rules state that either rider or...

I don't have a problem with riders who are in college showing in which ever regional is nearest to their school - provided it is officially noted. Sounds reasonable to me.

However, there still...

Thanks Lucassb, I over looked that somehow! Not sure how I managed that? Duh! Anyway, after re-reading the original post, my take on it was that the OP was NOT being nasty to Brooke and attacking...

I thought I read the whole thread, but maybe I missed something . . . but I don't recall people attacking Brooke's sportsmanship? If so, I would agree that doing so was a bit un-necessary.

I don't think anyone here is questioning riders who ride in a regional in an area where they do not officially reside, IF that region is one in which their trainer resides.

Excluding Brooke, I...

Thanks for posting CWV7! However, unfortunately, I see your post as more defensive and less offering an explanation (not that you are under any obligation to offer us one if the first place!).

Hmmmm . . . maybe they thought the "compelling circumstance" was the Capital Challange Horse Show? That's the only thing I can think of that would affect multiple kids from the same barn. However,...

Below is cut and pasted from the National Horse Show site: http://www.nhs.org/newyork/pdf/MaclayRules.pdf

"Notification Deadlines and Change of Region
Each rider must notify and declare to the...

Having not actually pulled up the USEF site and read the rule for myself, I do not have a comment on what actually happened.

However, to those that belive the rules were violated . . . has...

#98 Spectacular Rabbit - did that one sell? What about #106 Virginia Vale? I thought they were cute, but so late in the sale, you never know . . .

Actually, it isn't as unusual as you seem to think . . .



I don't know this kid personally, nor have I looked at the official results of PF, but sometimes these kids do not own all of the...

Regardless, I'd say that the kid stepped up to the plate and that the parents got what they paid for.

If the kid rode that well on lesser ponies she would not have won. If she rode the same...

I first heard about this guy here on the COTH b/b - but wouldn't you know I just saw that there is an article on him in the latest issue of Hunter and Sporthorse Magazine!

Have never met the man,...

Thank you for the link to the explaination - that is very well done - COTH or Practical Horseman should publish it as a how-to article (If I recall PH did do one years ago with one of Missy's...

They do sound like the "wrong" hairnets. They sound like the kind you'd get at Walgreens. You need to make sure you get them from a tack shop, those are thicker and stronger and can last a pretty...
