Feel sad for them because they are missing the whole point of being an equestrian.<br /><br />I talked to a drill team person who actually stated "horses are dumber than a post and you just have to beat them into submission". I feel sorry for her horses too!Drillriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237598511944008927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-64628787369660820482010-06-27T12:07:50.190-07:002010-06-27T12:07:50.190-07:00Makes me sad just reading this post.

So many horses are entrusted to the care of those who don't deserve such a gift. <br /><br />It's one thing to make mistakes out of ignorance and another to just not care.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-37253273220914265152010-06-26T20:41:50.933-07:002010-06-26T20:41:50.933-07:00We must never forget, no matter what level rider w...We must never forget, no matter what level rider we are, that we have been given a PROFONUD gift. A horse. A creature of strenth, beauty, and willingness to do almost anything for his rider. I only hope that this will not be the case here. If you are one of the lucky chosen one's to get the gift, then it becomes ours to treat to the very best of our abilities. All of our knowlgedge with horses, along with the bits we know about ourselves and our OWN human humbleness. We are not even 1/2 of that beautful horse, but we can do everything in our abilities to take that gift and do our very best for that horse. Shame, shame, to those, to anyone who will not!<br />~Mindyjacksonsgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702324347419665816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-54716495911582193782010-06-26T08:48:23.234-07:002010-06-26T08:48:23.234-07:00I'm with you, I too hope whoever her current c...I'm with you, I too hope whoever her current competition horse is, fares better than her past horses. I know it's only my opinion, but it seems there are too many people like her or like I think she is(I don't know that much about her)who use their horses to attain celebrity status. I wish there were more top riders who would show by example how to treat a horse fairly and with compassion. Re- enforcing that competition is simply another way to cement the bond between horse and rider.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
