While no one took photos :) there are and HAVE been enough of us who have 
seen this kind of behavior regularly from this person to be speaking of it 
now. As far as juniors, I disagree, respectfully - since my own daughter 
remarked that if ANYONE she was riding with behaved like that, she would pull 
at the first opportunity - but then, she  KNOWS better, has LEARNED both 
sportsmanship and care for her horse.
