Re: [RC] RC] NEW subject- the ad in EN - Jody Rogers-Buttram - Tim & Carla Brady
OK, so I'm not the
only one studying that photo. We actually had a discussion about that
photo on another distance riding list recently. It appears like blood has
run down from the scrapes on the fetlocks. I guess I'm not the only one
that really *looks* at the ads and photos in EN. :-)

RC] NEW subject- the
ad in EN - Jody Rogers-Buttram
Hey,
I have been noticing this ad, and it bugs the pee out of me. It
is an ad for the Arabian horse, by AHA, it is in the EN and I believe that I
have seen it in the Arabian Horse Magazine. It is titled, "The Arabian
Horse-choice of endurance riders worldwide". Well, I don't know the lady
in the picture (she doesn't look really happy, but neither do I in photos), but
the horse is a grey, ears up and they are trotting along a trail. No
biggy. But, when you are bored and have looked thru a magazine a 100
times, then you start to analyze things like, "What kind of tack are they
using?, What type of hoof protection?, Bit?, Girth, is it fleece or
not?". That kind of stuff. What jumped out at me, was that
this horse has some major boot rubs on the front of the fetlocks on both front
feet. Looks like they were cleaned up at a VC, and have left the boots
off. Problem is this: I know that crap happens at a ride, I have had
plenty of boot rubs too. So, I am not in any way labeling this
rider. But, don't you think that AHA could have picked a better photo for
their ad???? Or is it just me.
