((FLAME SUIT ON))  I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I do not like the abuses 
that go on in the horse show world.  No doubt about it there is some pretty 
terrible stuff happening out there.  But, let's not wear rose colored glasses 
here.  If ANY of us took a camcorder or a Polaroid camera to an endurance 
ride, we could take some pretty nasty, nasty pictures at any given ride.  
I've seen horses drop and roll at their trailer at the end of a ride (the 
rider was inside having a beer).  I've seen horses "whipped up" behind the 
scenes to get them to appear "forward" for the final vet check.  And the list 
goes on.  Its fun to blast those "horse show" types, but let's look to our 
own and take care of our own.  What's happening in our own "backyard" that we 
can fix?  Don't we know some Davis Boggs types in our own media?  How about 
we nail THOSE guys??
