Cindy, amen to that, my sentiments exactly!!!
My mom always said "If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at
all" I think that is a good statement. Poitics do not belong
in a sport. Especially in a horse sport, I have been involved in many an
equine disipline and unfortunatly, you can't escape politics
anywhere. When I first got involved in longdistance I was impressed by the
lack of politics and it was just plain fun!!!! But as
the years go by it seems more and more people have forgotton why we
ride, TO HAVE FUN. If it upsets you that
others may have fun as well then QUIT. If they have
money so what?? I personally have never had much money, drive a 88
Bronco ( which has taken me to all the way to Old Dominion) and haul a 91 two
horse trailer which we put up cots in the back of and sleep in. I bet I
have as much or more fun than those with expensive "toys". However I
would not belittle anyone because they have them. Thats just the way
things are. Some may have more and some may have less, but we are
all riders who are riding because ultimatly is is supposed to be fun, for us and
our horses!!!!!!!!!
When it is no longer fun for me, I will not be out
there anymore. I quit a lot of differant disiplines because they were no
longer fun. This one is still my favorite. Both CTRs and
Endurance. Although CTRs are a little more challenging, a lot more
to think about and less time allowed to complete the
course. Vicki
