I thought most responses were much like a parent would respond to their own
daughter - not a bad thing. In fact, bearing in mind the insult to those who
have taken the time and trouble to sponsor her, I thought the posts were
balanced. Personally, being "rash" and desiring independence never moved me to
rudeness in a public venue since first of all I knew what would follow (We
didn't have internet them - agign myself) and also because it seemed logical to
assume that I would not get adequate....support should I approach an issue
without due respect. I believe my daughter appreciates the priviledge of even
HAVING horses and being allowed to compete. While she pushed the envelope with
me regularly, as it should be:), she is without fail polite to others and
appreciative of those who HAVE sponsored her, no matter the pace, conditions,
etc. I LOVE that to date, every spnsor and ridign companion she ahs had loves
ehr attitude - she is a go-getter, no doubt about that - but withal beautifully
mannered and reasonable in her expectations. That said, she sure leads ME a
merry chase:)! S
