bottom line the BC is for the ego of the biped, not the horse.
I guess, to continue on this thread, if riders become better
stewards of their horses because they find themselves able to SHOW for
BC...GREAT.
If they become better stewards of their horses because they find themselves
WINNING a BUCKET for BC....GREAT.
If they show for BC and don't "win" anything because of it, maybe they
could look back on the ride and find something there of True
Value.
SIDENOTE: I don't believe this "discussion" is
necessarily existential in nature, perhaps it is only about
STANDARDIZATION. If that's true, then I'm thinking the BOD members who
bother to read this list probably got that message.
LAST SIDENOTE: No where in my post above are the
letters LD used. Thank you.
