Does prior 'bad sportsmanship' constitute "just cause"?  How do you 
document it, failing a formal protest from a rider,(which would need 
to wait for the adjudication) or disqualification on that grounds 
from a ride manager?  I'm certainly not arguing against it!  I just 
wonder at the legality.  I wonder if someone from the P&G committee 
could give us their take?

There was a somewhat similar case in the NW several years ago.  A 
stallion had apparently caused some issues at a number of 
rides.  Nothing was done about it at the time.  The next year, a 
number of ride managers tried to deny entry and the owners 
protested.  The P&G committee ruled in favour of the owners--because 
the issues had not been brought to their (the owner's) attention at 
the time.  (The owners, however, chose not to attend those rides--and 
at the rides they DID attend the stallion was fine; he'd learned some 
manners over the winter.)
