Jill I believe most are discussing what they saw in person?

While this is true Becky I firmly believe a 3rd place is not the equivalent of a 10th place they are 2 very different things. Each one something to be proud of for sure but if any placing after 2nd does not matter as they are considered equal then why bother even placing to 10th? If my horse...

I have to say I agree. Of course there will always be a few classes that make you go hmmm but only a few out of one hundred is not a big deal that could simply be the difference between being down in the arena or not seeing what the judge saw in that few seconds he may have looked at that horse...

Thanks everyone. I cut tails so not looking for length as much as fullness. I did try something new Take 3 strips of cloth ( I used a old pillowcase) Seperate tail into 3 sections below the tail bone Wrap each section with a strip so that no hair is showing Braid all 3 sections together...

In most of those classes any ribbon is a good ribbon but that being said I much preferred the old ribbons where it was easy to spot who got what from a distance. I realize a lot of people did not like the 8th place brown color but seems like it would be better to make a new color for 8th...

Do you bag, braid or? For those horses not only stalled 24/7 but those out in the elements as well.

I have done the same thing as Minimor and in fact prefer it. So many horses I have sold are still listed in my name.

Matt I could not agree more. Sometimes the cackling that goes on here is well nothing short of amusing although I am sure to those being talked about find it annoying bordering on amusing. Perhaps it is time to quit berating this poor child and move on to something else.

I would not hesitate to show this horse in Hunter, Jumper, Showmanship, Obstacle Driving, In Hand Obstacle and Driving. There is plenty he can do however I personally would not opt to show him in Halter. I would have to check the rulebooks to see if it is allowed in the performance classes but...

Ruffian I must be missing it in the Rulebook. Can you please tell me what page specifically addresses the show ring attire of a volunteer presenting ribbons? I agree this is Nationals and those open classes were pretty tough. Personally for me someone presenting me with a ribbon and or being...

I can speak only for myself and my answer is these threads are getting quite tiresome. No one is going to change minds in fact all that seems to be happening is the banter going back and forth is just further cementing everyones ideas. I personally feel some have been rather insulting and many...

I do not find much to argue with in the above statements. In fact some of the responses here on this thread just lend to how much truth there is in them. Just think how much good could have come to this country with the millions they have both wasted trashing each other.

I totally agree. She took time out of her own show to stand in the arena for long hours passing out ribbons and to thank her for that she gets picked apart on the forum

Congrats on a wonderful show. Marcos is truly a perfect example of what a gelding could and should be! All your horses are just beautiful!

I could not agree more of course fear and worry seems to be what everyone wants the world to think about the Democrats and why they might be talking about her but somehow that will not apply to the Republicans and all the trash they have talked through out the campaign. Just ridiculous! Talk...

While not presenting ribbons center ring I must admit I am guilty of running the show grounds in flip-flops

He looked amazing. The quality in that class was unbelievable! The excitment in the arena , the electricity in the air was one of the most tense and exciting stallion classes in years! The West Coast had quite a showing in that class with Joel wining Sr Champion with Jinga, Jim Curry placing...

Jill~ I respect the fact that you are willing to be honest and stand behind what you say. You are one of the few that I can say what you see is what you get that is rare these days especially on the Internet. Leeana~It has been wonderful to watch you become such a talented horsewoman this past...

It might be pricey paying for a whole trailer to go from you to the NW but any commerical hauler worth their salt has a trailer with proper and safe dividers and should have no problems at all hauling your boys safely.

Minis do not do rail work. In Model Classes they simply walk into the arena and set up the judges are not allowed to watch how the horse walks meaning if it tracks straight or not. Many times this is used as a gauge to see what *type* the judges seem to be picking. Although at the National...
