I think you hit it on the head, Velvet. All good posts- very insightful- thanks!

Just here in the middle of the night, pondering life... Do you guys think it's possible to be a good/effective instructor for riders but not necessarily for horses? (Also a good rider.)
Are...

That weird shelf paper that is rubbery and has little holes in it works like a champ- they're even sewing it to pads now. A roll of that is CHEAP. But I agree with the others- check the tree fit.

Sorry, a true DQ would NEVER event! ;)

Nope- as I said before, it's risk mitigation. My family knows and accept that if I die or am seriously injured while riding I did everything I could to minimize the risks. Because they love ME and...

Not advocating a helmet law. Definitely not worried. Couldn't care less what you do- you're not in my family and I don't have to suffer because of your choices. Pointing out the arguments are...

Ah- my bad reading too fast :) I'd still say no.

Everyone's rights are abridged in some manner in this country. Despite having the First Amendment right to free speech, you are not allowed to say whatever you want, whenever you want. Sedition,...

Sorry- the flaw in YOUR reasoning is she's an AMERICAN BY GOD and you damn kids need to quit sniveling like the little pansy ass liberal poseurs you appear to be! Get out your flags and march- be...

I wouldn't sell a horse to a poor college kid who may or may not be able to afford to properly care for the horse. If it's my horse it's my business and I'd say no to someone of questionable...

MY thoughts exactly... That and, ummmm, Brentina wasn't trained when Debbie got her... But who am I??? Certainly not the great and almighty slick! OK, back to work!

One person's whack job is another's Messiah. Tomato, tomahto.



Knock yourself out and enjoy the misogynistic put downs.

I don't disagree that the horse's welfare has to come first. But...

Yes- Rcloisonne- sorry
Although she seems to think you are her new BFF :)
And you can SAY I'd be quite wrong if I were talking to you- but we can all SAY whatever we want about our credentials...

:rolleyes:
I find it interesting a self-professed non-dressage rider has so many opinions on dressage. Perhaps you should peddle vitriol about a subject upon which you have more than a passing...

ROTFLMAO!

But seriously- the crux of the website is HE has a tiny dick ;)

I knew a gal who said (in a very pompous I never fall off because I'm so good voice) she only wore helmets on young horses.
This is the same woman who was out hacking her 18+ hh (you read that...

I love the one about mares being like neutrons!

No doubt
It's clear from YF's replies (and lack thereof) that all she wanted to hear is how we all agree she's being screwed because of the horrendous lower level Florida dressage politics- she's...

YF, your scores for this year are fairly consistent. If it's "politics", it's a pretty wide-spread conspiracy among a bunch of judges. I don't think they care enough to devote that much time to...

[QUOTE=YoungFilly;2674974]Thanks to everyone with the kind words, I appreciate it. My goals are pretty much just like everyone elses. I want to get my bronze (which I got this year), silver and gold...

All I gotta say is many of us work hard- and sometime working hard doesn't mean you are working correctly. Bottom line- dressage IS hard. Sounds like you need to rethink your goals and what you...

Thanks- I'll give it a try!

Ditto- looking at the first page of posts didn't clear it up either- although I am totally enjoying the actual art :)

Not a clue- I was under the same impression as you. I can't believe they can actually get the horses to go IN a double decker.
But pass the rum! ;)

I agree- detected zero anger- bemused, puzzled, chagrined... not angry :confused:
