Bratty girls, cliquish trainers, and "upper level" riders ripping the faces off of their horses while warming up. Yuck.<br /><br />Sounds like you made the best of it, and great pictures.

That never would have worked with Cash. <br /><br />As for trainers who yell - OH HELL NO. I understand that I might be at a distance and you need to yell to be heard, but NOBODY deserves to be belittled and insulted. Whatever happened to positive, constructive criticism? That concept seems to have flown at the window at this show. I felt so bad for a bunch of those little girls, and am so glad I don't have a trainer like that.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-37411523476691549232012-07-23T11:48:35.971-05:002012-07-23T11:48:35.971-05:00The atmosphere sounds pretty acurate.

But it sure is nice to hang around the Eventing crowd. It is like a breath of fresh air after hanging around the H/J crowd.

I used to have a trainer who would yell at me, too. Never again.<br /><br />It sounds like you and Saga handled it very well. That is worth the training experience and 7 out of 15 when this is not even your thing is very impressive. You should be proud!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.com
