I understand your frustration, Peggy but consider that perhaps
many of the posts that you may read as "flame" are actually right to the point
of this forum. And that is sharing information that may help others to be more
successful at this sport with their horses' best interest at heart.
We have all "been there, done that" to one extent or other and
a cautionary word may hopefully help guide others around those pitfalls that
often can be disastrous. It should not be seen as "raining on someone's
parade" as I, for one can say that if someone had "rained" on mine, I may
have avoided undue stress for me and avoidable injury to my wonderful horse
partner.
No wonder there are so few people posting on ridecamp.
There are just a few who seem able to stick to the point of this forum.
This is dwindling to a few people who feel the need to post grander than life
ride stories and then the people who have to stick up for them when they are
flamed by the people who like to flame. I am usually a lurker but today
I am coming out to say "Where have the Pertinent topics gone?" Peggy Hogan,
