    I say it "Sorry, no." If you feel you need to have an excuse, say "My insurance won't allow it". Hang "No Trespassing" signs on the fences, too.

    It's a lot cheaper, too, to just go to the show and watch the folks from your barn that _are_ showing. :) And if you're inclined, offer to take photos or video rounds for your barn-mates and/or...

    I would think that the best the landowner could do in that case is refuse to allow the association to lease their facility, or make the lease conditional on the exclusion of person B.

    You might also try yoga (or any other stretching program) - sometimes once you convince the joints that range of motion is possible, everything else gets easier.

    Mary's is big, and it'll cure your tack fix, but it's pricey. Be prepared for sticker shock. Looks like there's a Quarter Horse show at the adjacent Horse Park, or so it says on the website.

    So, what was the other woman doing? She might have been non-plussed - if your guy doesn't usually drink, he may not know what he's done, and done it to someone who (as a friend) would stand for it....
