And, f...Your posts definitely aren't too long.<br /><br />And, for the record, I've been on the "winning" side of that situation. Took my horse to a local schooling show, green horse w/t/c class. He'd never been to a show and I haven't really done a lot of work cantering him in the ring (just got him in august. The class was really just a, "he's handling this show thing really well, let's see how he does. If he doesn't canter, no big deal, it's not a big class" sort of thing). Anyway, we did canter both directions but I <i>know</i> it couldn't have been a pretty transition and we missed the correct lead going one way. I was pretty sure that meant we'd gotten last (class of 4) and was totally expecting it.<br /><br />Imagine my surprise when they call us for second place! I seriously thought somebody must've made a mistake.<br /><br />Honestly don't know what the judge saw (or didn't see) in the other horses, I was too focused on my boy to see.<br /><br />Anyway, my point is, it's interesting to me to see a judge's perspective, especially in cases like this where I'm left going, "how did I manage to get <i>that</i>?". :)Analisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745597205111114664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163125781709346657.post-29963551570528423772009-10-29T13:16:00.212-07:002009-10-29T13:16:00.212-07:00Your posts are great.

(And if you've been to my blog, you know...Nope. (And if you've been to my blog, you know I say it straight up lol) ;)<br /><br />I enjoy the posts. It is really interesting to me to get an "inside perspective", since I have not shown since 2001. <br /><br />One thing that always stood out in my mind, and you say it in your closing lines: You are paying for someone's OPINION of your horse, on THAT day. Nothing says their opinion is not allowed to differ from yours. <br /><br />I was lucky as a child, and most of the judges we showed under would take a bit of time at the end of the day and help the teens who asked, improve their performance. Being able to read your thoughts here is kind of like that- and something I enjoy understanding more about.Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163125781709346657.post-60935158553433115282009-10-29T01:59:52.127-07:002009-10-29T01:59:52.127-07:00Honestly, are my posts too long?Honestly, are my posts too long?FlyingHorse2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17172115754518815617noreply@blogger.com
