Observations and other trivia from a first timer at R National

[R Whiteman]

Believe me when I say there was no need to peek and anyone that was there knows what parts.

 

[susanne]

Well...THAT settles it! I'm going to nationals!

(And here I thought those Scottish kilts sounded exciting...)

Let's just say, one of the drivers was, um, "well endowelled" and leave it at that...

I'm confused - is that well-endowed... or are there wooden dowels like these involved?

I KNEW I shouldn't have missed that class!!

 

[Minimor]

tagalong - I was wondering that same thing.

Well endowed is one thing, but if some of those wooden dowels are involved, that is just plain WRONG. Not to mention a little WEIRD.

Sorry- he was well endowed... and they were bright and shiny, too!

 

[REO]

First Lucy said one of the DRIVERS was well endoweled, then she said they were bright and shiny.

Ummm I gotta know, DRIVER? Or horse?

I wouldn't touch this topic with a 10 foot dowel!

Let me just say (as I did in Tulsa) That it takes a lot of cojones to drive a chariot at AMHR Nationals!

Hahahaha, well Ron, I love your enthusiasm and your humor with which you have viewed it all. I hope you do make it back and try it again- and enjoy all the fun!

... and they were bright and shiny, too!

hmmm...sounds like they were made of brass...

Especially when the judges decide to "check" the "equipment". Holy cow! I knew I didn't see well but I couldn't understand what the comotion was about until now!

See that's just some of the things you miss when you get OLD and the sight goes.

 

[hobbyhorse23]

If I don't make it back next year, it won' t be because I was scared away or did not enjoy myself. I had great drives and I got beat by horses that had better drives that day. That what horse shows are all about.

Hey you guys, skip a year and go in 2012 so I can have some company!

I've already ordered my chariot and you can bet I'll be out there with some pretty big, um, plumes.

You can allude to them all you want but I'm keeping my illusions that my team's grandeur will always be grander than anyone else's! Even if they are both geldings and not well-endowelled anymore.

Nope- SILVER!!

DRIVER!!

 

[R Whiteman]

I started this thread with the hope that I was not the only person that noticed "things "while at the show. Maybe some behavior occurs so often that it is now the norm and only those of us that have never been there pay any attention to it. Maybe I am the only one willing to admit noticing such things. I am glad that some of you enjoyed my take on things.

[Mominis]

Ron, there was so much negativity posted after the show that this is a great thread to show the lighter side of things. It was my first Nationals and I had a BALL! (no pun intended) I can't wait to go back!
