Re: [RC] [RC] ad in EN - Jody Rogers-Buttram

Carla,
  I don't think that any of us critized the horse or the rider.....just the fact that it was a poor choice for an ad with the sores (for whatever reason).   The horse does have its ears up and it trotting alone nicely...I think I pointed that out in the orginal post.  I did say that the person didn't look really happy, but again, not everyone makes for a great pic.  ME for one.  But, I don't think I have a pic that would be worthy of an AHA ad either.  THAT was the point, that someone (AHA, not AERC) should have looked a little bit harder for a BETTER picture.  Regardless....when someone looks at an ad, they don't know the person/horse personally, they are going to "assume" things, and sores are not a good way to promote the breed or the sport.

I feel really badly about criticizing the photo, because I know how I'd feel if someone was tearing apart a photo of my horse.  I apologize - profusely - for making comments about the photo, I really do. 
 
I just wasn't thinking, there's a person in that photo ...   For what it's worth, I am about worm-height right now.  I will say this, I think the rider and horse do look sweet together, and they're out on the trail.  That's what counts.

The gal in the pic is Gale from Norco or around Norco.  I had the pleasure of riding with her at Manzanita in October.  Her horse, Honey or Sweetie or something close to that (am I showing how bad my memory is or what!).  The mare is a really nice horse that can trot circles around my Jazzi.  The mare is an NSH not a pure bred as she beat me in the AHA region One Half Arab Endurance Championship.  A well deserved championship for the two of them. I wish Jazzi could trot that fast!

I know exactly what ad your all talking about and I agree with you all, but I do happen to know the gal in the picture. She is a really nice person, has done a few AERC rides but prefers and mostly rides NATRC. Her horse is older, a spitfire of a horse and a pure Arab.
