No, I meant shows. If the competition is Equine Canada sanctioned (or presumably USEF sanctioned) i.e. national shows, than the national rulebook applies. If the show is a CDI or international show, it is FEI sanctioned the FEI rulebook applies. I hope sanctioned is the right word - do I mean licensed?

I believe it is possible to have a show where some classes are sanctioned by the national body and some by the FEI but they are in essence separate competitions.

The competition series that I scribed at for years (sadly not running in 2018), ran both Gold and Bronze but they were separate although held on the same day and at the same place.

What are we supposed to be seeing?

[SnicklefritzG]

I watched the original video and don’t think it was as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be. I’ve seen a lot worse. Some people said that the rider hit the horse with “full force”, but that was not the case in the video. The rider tapped the horse with the whip and it cowkicked out, but that was not a “full force” beating of the horse as some here seem to suggest.

The talk on the 'net is what has been bad, because of the rider being named, made fun of, etc.

I thought this thread was dead and gone, but alas! Here it is.

You’ve seen worse…at a competition? How was it worse?

Umm…what’s that now? The ride wasn’t bad but talking about it is? Wonder what video you were watching because it sure isn’t the one we’re all talking about. Would love / hate to know where all this worse riding at shows you are seeing happens.

Guessing you saw the first day’s ride. There were two rides, and the second day (when she was eliminated after the ride) is the one that is generating all the discussion. I don’t see anyone making fun of the rider on this thread, but there is a lot of concern over the rider’s abusive attitude toward the wonderful horse. Did you see her take the reins in one hand multiple times so she could whip the horse with full force? Did you see her jerking the curb rein after the ride just because she was upset? That is what has so many of us upset… If I had just seen the first day’s video, I would have felt the same as you - why is everyone picking on her? But I saw both rides… And the 2nd ride is the game changer :no:

It really wasn’t that bad.

Here is a link to a page that shows photos of a landing signal officer helping to guild a jet onto the deck of the USS George Washington.

Here is another link that shows the 7 basic signals:

I didn’t see the rider do anything like that in either of the tests.

@merrygoround

Finally got to see it!:eek: Just about every rider “crime” in the books. Locked back, frequently locked elbows. lower legs flailing. Improper use of the whip.

That rider could possible benefit from months spent daily riding on the longe with no reins, and then again riding off the longe with no reins. She may then learn to use her legs.

But she can say, with a superior attitude, “Well, I have competed at Intermediare 2” , if she dares.

Lovely horse.

What the hell are you babbling about aircraft carriers for?

If you actually watched the second ride, and I doubt you have, and you think it’s “not that bad” you need a serious education in horsemanship.

[SnicklefritzG]

Go ask Merrygoround about that. They were the ones who likened the ride in question to the way in which jets are guided back onto the deck of an aircraft carrier. If you actually read the links I posted, it’s obvious that the rider was not in fact moving their arms and body in the manner that a signal officer does. It was not an accurate representation of that ride.

Sometimes I try to explain horse internet to the handsome man lying beside me right now, and it just makes me look like a crazy person because I just completely lost it tried to read this aloud and am laughing so hard about aircraft carrier signals that he is telling me “I can’t understand a word you’re saying, can you try forming words in English,” and he’s beginning to look genuinely concerned.

This is the post in question.

Comparing the rider to a signal officer is not accurate, hence my post about what a signal officer actually does.

@merrygoround

Finally got to see it!:eek: Just about every rider “crime” in the books. Locked back, frequently locked elbows. lower legs flailing. Improper use of the whip. Hands crossing over neck, hands waving in actions suitable when directing an aircraft landing on a carrier at sea.

That rider could possible benefit from months spent daily riding on the longe with no reins, and then again riding off the longe with no reins. She may then learn to use her legs.

But she can say, with a superior attitude, “Well, I have competed at Intermediare 2” , if she dares.

Hmmmm, while I understand your literal take on the differences between the rider and a signal officer, I’m struggling to understand how you missed that merrygoround’s post was a bit tongue in cheek.

There’s a thread in off course regarding old family sayings. And within those sayings are things like “colder than a well diggers bum”. We don’t need to physically touch a well diggers bum to get the idea that it’s pretty darn cold outside. The same goes for the “hands waving in actions suitable, etc”.

It was a bad ride - period.

[SnicklefritzG]

They aren’t the same type of analogies. In the “well digger” example, a fact is being described, specifically temperature.

In the case of the aircraft carrier analogy that started in post #47, a person’s ride is being described and the analogy is being used to make fun of them. Quite a different matter. Not ok to name the person publically and make fun of them no matter how bad people thought the ride was.

Are you serious? Why in the world would you say this? Who cares what someone posted about aircraft carriers? This is your justification for stating that the ride wasn’t the worst you have seen? Do you hear yourself?

[SnicklefritzG]

Go back and read the post I referenced back on page 3 and others where the rider is made fun of with such analogies and even named publically.

Not cool no matter what people thought of the ride.

I agree with you. The analogies were overdone. But I hope that you just wanted to show that with your post. I also hope that you do not see worse rides all the time as you wrote. Because if you do than something is seriously wrong with the system…
