I am very cautious about stuff like the lunge bungee because I know that lot of things like that can have bad effects on horses, but I think it sound like a pretty good bit of gear, and I am glad it made Barnaby so nice to ride. I am glad you had a nice time at the show even if the judges were very odd.<br />Regards<br />EdwardEdwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147322172866367128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705934261650966758.post-53994474621199858092011-07-04T08:20:34.110-07:002011-07-04T08:20:34.110-07:00Oh, dear.

The judging in "show" classes is so subjective and sometimes political, that it's impossible to really judge your own performance by how you place. <br /><br />Even worse...at least here in the US...you often sit around all day waiting for your classes, depending on how many riders are in each class and how long a judge might take to reach a decision. <br /><br />In eventing and dressage, you have a set time and know when you are going to ride. And, above all, the scoring is nice and clear. Sure, there is still some subjectivity, but you get a score sheet and the judge needs to explain or justify each mark. <br /><br />Well, at least you got out and about with your "beautifully schooled" horse. *S*Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705934261650966758.post-88208060906865129412011-07-04T04:10:15.740-07:002011-07-04T04:10:15.740-07:00Well done Jane, I image judging is like everything...Well done Jane, I image judging is like everything else, if your face fits your in, and if it doesnt your never going to get anywhere.<br />Well done Barnaby as it was hot yesterday at least he did his best. hugs ShirleyxNannieflashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281000970638522699noreply@blogger.com
