[QUOTE="DrumRunner728, post: 387822, member: 6339"] [i]Things I learned. I don't like the frilly horse show stuff. I like speed events. Some folks ride with their hands in just the right place for the judges regardless. The horse could fall down but that hand would remain right where it was. Whatever happened to riding with your hand on your leg or hip? Some folks have way too much money. There are a lot spoiled kids out there. There is a doctor out there with a bunch of money who insists she be announced as Dr. XXXX for every event. I thought that was a petty. Heck I'm a SOB but I don't expect everyone to announce "and here is SOB flaboy riding"...... [/i] flaboy, I have started a couple of young barrel horses by taking them to QH shows. It's an excellent way to start them with little pressure and low entry fees. Plus, if you go to the 3-day circuits you get 3 runs (6 if you run amateur classes too). Met some really nice people, but mostly I learned the same things you did! Decided I had been right all along - the running horse people were a lot more down to the earth than the pleasure/halter group. :P [/QUOTE]
