I will have to see if I can track that info down.<BR/><BR/>jeanette, ya, that sick feeling is hard to forget, isn't it? I have had classes like your daughter's.<BR/><BR/>grey horse, I do seem to get myself into things sometimes, that's for sure. As for the judges with 28 horses in the class they had a lot to keep track of. Having stood in the middle to judge a time or two I can understand how things get missed. But it was frustrating.<BR/><BR/>oringinal l, the judges wouldn't mark off a victim horse but they would have had to see the whole wreck. Evidently they were looking at something else when it occurred and only saw my horse stopped afterwards. At that point there's nothing they can do but assume my horse was not doing what he was supposed to be. <BR/><BR/>Someone at the time told me it was my fault. That I should have seen that horse coming. But how I was supposed to see a horse coming up from behind me, I don't know. The horse can see back there but I sure can't. Oh well, you win some and you loose some. It all balances out in the end, I think.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-88609858907906294412008-10-30T09:26:00.000-07:002008-10-30T09:26:00.000-07:00I wonder why the judges would mark off the victim ...I wonder why the judges would mark off the victim horse in a situation like that?

Her horse was "on" and they were doing well. When a horse and rider, ran into her horse knocking her mare sideways. My daughters horse didn't lash out at the intruder and recovered quickly. This out of control pair went on to interfere with others too, she tells of 3 times during the class this horse interfered with her ride, she couldn't seem to stay out of their way! She felt like she had a 'bullseye' on her somewhere! From the rail, I remember holding my breath nearly covering my eyes wondering when this 'train wreck' was going to end! <BR/>My daughter now talks about her "combat classes", the ones you win because there is no vet bill or doctor bill attached. It's sad that people don't prepare to the minimum of not interfering with other's!Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957611498267858588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-84298807082776348662008-10-28T00:13:00.000-07:002008-10-28T00:13:00.000-07:00Interesting!
