Congrats on the marathon challenge. I hope you take time to commend yourself on your awesome effort. (Heck, Im in awe of you for attempting the race, considering your injury/training problems.)Hope your toes feel better soon. Love your blog, and it could be worse. You could be nursing sore feet in Alaska, where it is depressingly cloudy and cold,Cinthia

Horsemanship or Sportsmanship where are they in Dressage?
What has happened to either one of them? Do they exist in our discipline? I was just prompted to read an article in the Chronicle that my good neighbor and a Terrific Horsewoman “Linda Allen.” Linda wrote regarding exclusivity within the Industry and how we are being negatively effected by it…..a definite read!
How can we survive as an Industry if we do not start to teach some of the morals and ethics that make for Sportsmanship and Horsemanship 1st. Like a lot of people including Linda, I have spent my life growing up with and around horses. What I know is that the Industry has become more intolerant to those without a great amount of capital to back them up and the ability for a person of talent to survive is no longer based on their hard work and dedication or raw skills…but how much money they can put up. What has happened to us?
Why is it that when you go to a horse show these days whether you are a competitor or a spectator…you feel lost like it is your first day at school…somewhat unwelcome even? Certainly almost always…..alone….apart…..different!
When did it become impossible to ride together, train together, learn together, show together….too many politics, too many differences…? Why is it we can take the time to have the patience to learn from our horses…no matter what their experience…but not each other? We are all in this together….we all need each other….why can we not start acting like a team?

I have to agree with Cathy with Canada getting one of our best assests. I have pondered posting a similar comment but everytime i started, I got a angry…. so I deleted it. I personally feel a dismissed by the “higher powers” in the dressage community. I do feel that persons in the lower levels and trainers (as myself)that are developing dressage riders/horses to move to the upper levels are going to suffer greatly. I can only hope this is not going to be a trend…..

Okay, here is my controversial question or comment however you want to take it. How is it that Canada has managed to steal one of our great dressage riders for themselves?? How is it that we here in America can’t seem to keep our loyalties to our own country and the development of the sport? Is that controversial enough? I do believe that by Robert coaching the Canadians we have done a disservice to ourselves. Trust me, us American dressage folks need help, me included. It’s apparent at the schooling show level and up although I do believe that our economy prohibits many of us in partaking in clinics these days. I personally would like to see some great riders volunteering more time and clinics for the typical rider and not just the folks that have money to burn.

Oops, I think I might have gotten up on my soapbox there. Let me step back now and let the comments roll in.

Robert: Did I win my special gift??? Speaking of which, you offered one before for Ask Rhonda questions so I contributed and even got my question published….but alas, no gift.
