Isn't MSA sort of a schooling show anyway, especially the green hunter div.???

fredsaid2 said:It is a schooling show. Greens go at 2'3". There are some very nice horse and rider combos there as well as some very new/very green combos. The one grey that had a few refusals was lovely! The rider straightened him out over later courses.
valentino said:So why all the fuss, I can appreciate the show and what it can do for certain rider/horse combos, but just not that impressive to me to take home the 'tricolors' in a green division at a schooling show.
Maybe I am just spoiled by Upperville type shows, but MSA just seems so second rate. They do try hard at times to make things better, but someone who feels they can make a class hold for 30 minutes or more because they are not ready and cannot be bothered to scratch, goes and messes the whole thing up.

I stay away from Conceited and snotty people on a daily basis.Winn Dixie said:No, as as matter of fact, there are quite a few of us up here. Just not anyone you might come in contact with on a daily basis.

Post by WinnDixie on 8-26-06 in horse thread reads..."I don't know a lot about horses, but why do you need to know it's name and what makes you think a horse on its way to slaughter actually has a trainer? Is "crappy feet" a technical term? I can't even imagine how anyone would know some of these things and don't understand why you would need to know a majority of them"
And you started out so friendly Winn with all of your pleases, thankyous and hug. I love the part about you being so new here and just wanting a dog. Tell me, did you get the dog before or after you got the horse?
