Re: [RC] is this rude" - Barbara McCraryIt's interesting what different riders will call rude. I was riding with a woman in a multi-day and we were near the end of that day's distance. I THOUGHT I was being polite by staying behind her, thinking she could finish before me and get credit for one position higher. Instead, she became miffed with me for riding behind, accusing me of drafting off her horse. I apologized, rode ahead, and I don't remember which of us finished ahead...not that it made any difference.Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "k s swigart" <katswig@xxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 3:11 PM Subject: [RC] is this rude" Rhonda said: So, is that kind of behavior okay at rides and I'm just out of line to resent it a bit? I wouldn't consider this beharviour as being excessivly rude unless you had specifically asked her not to do it and she did anyway. It MAY be that she thought what she was doing was being polite with her borderline unmanageagle horse (e.g. leaving the water trough with her horse before it could cause some problems with your horses, only stopping the horse on the trail for as long as she was alone and when she saw you catching up, she continued on so as to not subject your horses to her horse's unmanageablity). If you didn't tell her that the behaviour was causing a problem for your horses, she may have not known and just been trying to avoid causing problems. kat Orange County, Cali. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
