Re: [RC] did AHA give in or did they have no choice - heidi"...Herein lies the fallacy of your statement. Good Arabs do not win in the show ring. Extremes win in the show ring..." Actually, Heidi, I don't think we are far apart on this one. My comments relating to show people "not seeing changes" did not intend to carry a judgement relating to the "functional goodness" of current show winners. I tried to imply that the look of show winners will not change. If imports of previously non-registerable horses look like other show winners they will win, otherwise they will not. Yep, when you put it that way, we are in full agreement. If I were able to run the world, I would not allow the judged appearance showing of horses, (or dogs, for that matter.) until the animal was mature and had accumulated a bunch of true performance points. LOL! Ditto. And your story about your QH is a good example of the all-too-common schism between what wins in the ring and what does outside of it.
