Now I have never been one to "play the race card" but it is pitiful that people like you think it's funny or that we should just "get over it".

WD, don't you think it's the intent of a statement that makes a difference. I don't believe there was any malice (sp??) intended here towards anyone or race. JMO!!

Maybe the idea is - this is the horse forum and we'd prefer to talk about equines. Now if I said something like, 'all Arabs are crazy' we could discuss my prejudice and actually be in the correct forum....

Any statement promoting prejudice is a statement best left unstated, regardless of it's intent. If I called someone a horrible racist name the effect would be the same no matter what my intent. You can only truly understand if you or those you love have actually been the recipient of such statements.

Let me set this straight. I by far am not a racist person. I try to get along with everyone reguardless. If you knew me you would see it. Personally I don't give a rats butt what you think of me. It's the people that throw the racist cards out are the ones that make people perjudice. So keep this forum about horses and not politics.

Sooooo how about those schooling shows!? It never ceases to amaze me how far off topic this forum can get on almost any topic. I grew up riding Hunt Seat, Saddle Seat, Western, and some dressage. I had a pony once who racked at the trot, but that is the little bit I know about gaited horses. My mom still does competitive trail riding, so I know a little about that too. Anyway, I feel best equipped to put on a decent schooling hunter show. I wouldn't mind combining it with a Western ring, but I would prefer having judges that are experts in there feilds and not a western/english judge who sways to one discipline style over another. I wouldn't mind putting on other shows for different breeds or disciplines but then I feel like a fish out of water and I would need ALOT of help finding proper judges and people to attend. Are there any Hunter/jumper people on this forum that would be interested in a schooling show in late Jan. early Feb. ? If so... I will get busy, if not, I won't waste my time.

Yeah it went off topic pretty fast!
A schooling hunter show would be fun. I have a leased horse I might want to show at it.

Well I guess i'm not 'ethnic' enough to understand or appreciate it when people throw down the race card, ESPECIALLY when it was completely, absolutely unintended. It's obvious to me WD has NEVER been to a paso show, or she/he'd know EXACTLY what i'm referring too.
The Paso IS Spanish in origin, and the vast majority of show folks ARE Mexican, and DO speak Spanish...and YES there is a LOT of Tequila consumed, based on the number of bottles sitting around in the isle where their horses are stalled. Nothing racist about making these observations. They are merely observations, no slanderous intent at all.
BTW, I'm just a plain 'ole American girl, plain as apple pie...with a little Black Irish and German thrown in for good measure. Nothing ETHNIC there 'eh?
I apoligize if you mistook my statements as racist or insulting. With that said, until you have walked a day in my wooden clogs, don't even think you know me or my intent. If you Did, you'd NEVER have read racism into my statement. It ain't there, for reasons i don't care to disclose on a public forum.
