RE: [RC] Shagya National Ride ! - heidi

Dear Heidi,

I try not to generate fecal matter,


Well, you seem to be pretty good at it!


but I do recognize it when I smell it...or read it


Clearly not.


Regardless of what the ride is called, the  owners/riders of Shagya-bred 
horses  are not the yahoos that you and Angie seem to be so "scared" of and 
so familiar with. I invite you to read Angie's posts from the beginning. 
Flowing compliments after an initial unsolicited, undeserved and totally 
inappropriate slam don't really mean a whole lot. You're right about where 
the responsibility for horse welfare belongs. Like backyards, we should all 
take care of our own. I guess Tom Ivers was right about a lot of things. 


Now, who is being condescending??  To suggest that the rest of us have
not "read Angie's posts from the beginning could well be called rude
and insulting.  Yes, Dennis, I DID read them--had I not, I would not
have responded when and as I did.  And NOWHERE in any of our posts did
either one of us suggest that Shagya owners or riders are
"yahoos"--although you are beginning to convince me, at least. 
Assumptions are about the rudest and most condescending things you can
make, and are more often than not wrong.

Actually, Tom Ivers tended to be logical to a fault.  And I don't think
he considered anything less than 100-milers to be of much interest,
either.


End of subject for me except to wish the ASAV the best for their first 
national ride. 

Why don't you and Angie try doing the same.

I believe we did.  But you were too busy trying to find insults where
there were none to hear what either one of us was saying.  It's a sorry
world when folks cannot make caring suggestions without somebody reading
insult into them.  But oh, yeah, this is the internet--sometimes I
forget and get optimistic.

Heidi
