A rider kissing/hugging their horse (my number one fav)<BR/>2. A rider who pets their horse for trying even though it didn't go right (especially at the end of a jumping round or dressage test - GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!)<BR/>3. A nicely turned out horse (esp if a kid did it!)<BR/>4. Friends supporting friends throughout the competition<BR/>5. When a judge has time to talk about my ride (good or bad) or says something encouraging.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503493957619555376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-36124263797010223322008-09-06T05:12:00.000-07:002008-09-06T05:12:00.000-07:00Oooh!

I don’t need to try to avoid being kicked as I’m heading into my class.<BR/>2.People and HORSES (esp) hanging on the rail. My green bean doesn’t like to wonder if he’s going to be eaten as he goes into an extended trot to avoid bared teeth. (Not that his extended trot isn’t lovely – but I don’t think it gets me any brownie points! Hehe) I also don’t like to hear conversations about what’s for lunch, and what’s up with that pony over there?<BR/>3.People who excessively take out their frustration on their horse for a bad round. Horses have bad days too. Sometimes you just have to call it quits while you’re ahead. A show is not the place to do excessive training.<BR/>4.People who throw temper tantrums when they know they haven’t ribboned. <BR/>5.People who make a lot of noise during a dressage test.<BR/>6. Riders on cell phones.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503493957619555376noreply@blogger.com
