Shows...

Acatually my old horse was in now way easy.. He didnt buck but he woudnt go
calmly and quiet if you made the slightest move or pull on his mouth at the
wrong time he would run away. My new horse is fairly uncomplicated. I mean he
hasnt been jumping a whole year, but he jumps well and moves well. He bucks
some in the corners but thats about it.

Naa, it was as gentle as a baby fart.

As nearly as I can tell, he's a kid who rides gentle horses over
obstacles in show rings and somehow considers participation to be a
measure of greatness.

>I think Richard the great was meant a little facetiously...

In which case, none of the newly arrived denizens of this deep can
possibly take exception to my pointing out the utter folly of calling
oneself "great."

I'm a bit unclear on the concept of "run away." Do you mean you allowed
your horse to repeatedly dominate you?

I'm all for whatever makes anyone's cork float, although why anyone
would consider mere participation in the riding of gentle horses over
obstacles inside a show ring to be a measure of "greatness" is beyond my
ken.

Are you there every time they play the National Anthem? Do you haul
hard, bump heads with the toughs, and consistently win or place in every
Grand Prix you enter? When you do, you can call yourself "good" at what
you do, but "great" will still be an appellation that can only be
bestowed by other folks.

If you call yourself "great," you just look silly.

Truth is neither polite nor rude, but I'll certainly confess to not
suffering fools all that well.

>hahaha they arent little for your information...

"Little" is a relative term. As I see it, four or five feet under a
horse's belly is piddly.

>I would like to see people who say that ride at Washington

>International horse show and see if they can even get a ribbon...

You might consider that some folks - folks make absolutely no claims of
being "great" - have ridden thousands of horses that got more altitude
than an open jumper. And, they do it for money, not for meaningless
ribbons.

That said, I can appreciate the cojones and athleticism it takes to
successfully compete in a Grand Prix or puissance, but I can't remember
ANY good rider ever calling themselves "great."

Unlike you jrs Margot Daly, Sarah Bryen both show/ed Washington.
You might even know them from aol - both kids have my deepest respect.

You seem to think you have nothing to learn from other disciplines. My
experience online in rec.equestrian and jr-r...@horse-country.com (mail
list) is just the opposite - the more you learn about horses, the better
you are handling them. But perhaps you're only interested in riding.

Richard, when you post here, you're talking to everyone here. The only
way not to talk to somebody who reads here is to send something privately.

They _all_ do, isn't that evident? These are folks whose trainers
school their horses for them, if said horses are a little hot. Where
is horemanship in that equation? The lovely "Have it groomed, saddled,
schooled, braided and then I'll hop on" school of thought.

Same horses often languish for untold amounts of time in a stall with
rare turnout or inadequate turnout - "Well, he's out for 2 hours a day
in the pen, that's sufficient."

Because he's the type of boy who might well have an ambitious trainer
who by hook and by crook gets him into a fairly advanced show stage,
at which point he could achieve guru-dom.....and he seems to have

The word 'Well' should have been capitalized.
You needed a comma after 'well'.
The word is not 'your'. It's 'you're' which is a contraction of 'you are'.
You used 'a' instead of 'an'. An is used in front of a word starting with
a vowel. A vowel is any of the five letters a e i o u.
You did not end your sentence with a period.

Rickie, my boy, I have grown sons. If you were MY child, you'd be yanked
off that high horse of yours and in your room with a desk, a book and a reading
light.

There's one big problem with fifteen year old boys. It's one of the major

Not quite. 'An' is used in front of any word the begins with a vowel sound,
not necessarily a letter that is a vowel. Hence 'An historical..." and 'A
union...'.

Hell, as long as we're touting Canuks, I figure that anybody who could
match Ian Tyson's feats would be worthy of being called "great." Tyson
has made a hand as a riding broncs, as a working cowboy, and riding
cutters. In addition, he's been one of the better poet/singers of folk
and cowboy ballads since the 1960s.

You may be experiencing detonation prior to landing. The other night I saw

A possibility that BoxerSlobber has somehow corrupted the detonation

AWWWWKKKKKKK!
Had never considered that possibility......

Nope.
Can't be that.
Whew!

Wonder what is causing these problems???

Huh? Batteries? Back when I took a slide rule course in college ... um,
well, of course that was a *history* class <cough> Well ... <ahem> Never
mind. <sigh>

Sure do like having a calculator handy to figure up stuff like how much hay
to order for the herd. I remember the first calculator we bought, several
decades ago. Well over $100, and not much beyond basic functionality. This
was back when the computer was the size of a single car garage. <g> Egads,
when I consider the horse records we can keep in the computer now compared
to what was possible then ... and what it took to accomplish even the
smallest task [do NOT drop those cards!!!] ... LOL!
