Now, the USDF and USEA (have you heard of those?) certification programs are slightly less useless, as they have more requirements for certification. and are discipline specific...

but most higher level riders have no certifications! Perhaps because they don't need them to get students!!!!!

so who are you certified by?

Ok so this is very true! You dont need to be certified to be an instructor, SL is amazing teacher, and there are some certified people that are just awful, just because you have a certification (not including USDF or USEF) dosent make you a good instructor, all it is is a peice of paper! Basically no matter if you have that little peice of paper or not, theres always good instructors and sucky ones! its all about your training, your drive, your experience, and what you've accomplished.

If you have the training, but dont have the drive to take your students as far as you can, or you arent into it then you shouldnt teach, and if you dont have the training... well experience i should say, then you shouldnt teach casue you might put your student in a dangerous postion if a horse dose something and you have no idea what to do!

and futhermore, i know people that have the big USDF certification,and they sure as heck dont down those that dont have any certifications, even those with that certification will tell you, a good instructor dosent always have to have that peice of paper!!!

You want to make soemthing of it, GOOD instructors or trainers, DONT down other instructors for one, they are hard on their students, they still ride and compete in what they are training their students, they have the knowlege/experience, they encourage and support their students, they are professional, and boy i could go on.

It is truly hialrious to see this happening.

Dippin' in the horse steroids they are.








I sound like Yoda.

Is the certified vs non-certified thing going to become a yearly or bi-yearly biotch session?? Maybe we need a poll.....

We need to teach that horse to do a turn on the haunches.

Did you find a ride to our chapter show? You can kick my butt there, I'm working out a plan to bring the new girl, since I told the chapter I could take her for the chapter challenge.

If I can't figure out a way to trailer her and Peanut I could probably pick you up. How long is the drive to where your guy is?

HAHAHAHA, I WISH I could post the WD MPD red karmas I just got, but 2 of them have words that would be bleeped out. (But, I actually KNOW how to work around that and "cuss" genius. So while I may be an f-ing psychotic biatch at least I'm not hiding it. )

Oh and I'm honored that you've spent some much time looking at my ass. But, darling I'm not gay so point your attention else where.

And what shame that you can't send me more red until tomorrow. Shucks and darn!
