Lots of posters from Australia and Canada…
So that kind of does make it world wide.

Like I said, it was a choice.
No one I know as a friend or peer has ever been involved in a brawl in a bar.

Nor do I know anyone involved in a brawl. Believe me it was as shocking to me as to anyone what happened. I was out with some golf ladies celebrating my 35th birthday and it was like at 8pm. Wasn’t a crazy party scene lol!

I would suggest until at least 30% of those babies have grown up and has a performance resume.

And if by some chance someone randomly came up and shot at me while I was quietly reading my Bible on the front porch, officer, I also wouldn’t be plastering it all over FB and certainly not on anything intersecting my professional life.

This bears repeating. 1 out of 6 foals presented scored well. 
That’s a pretty big miss for most people.
And twisting of the facts in order to brag about it, quite unflattering.
There is NO best young jumper champion for the Keuring Tour results.
The OP made that title up on her own. 
There is a top Ten for foals, yearlings, 2YOs and Studbook Horses. Period. The End.
The futurity seems a new thing, and it looks like not every horse shown is entered in that, so maybe there was a better horse that didnt enter. Like, maybe the first placed foal.…

Actually at the keuring the best young jumper is scores from wrangling to 2yo. And in fact my wrangling beat out scores in all those ages across all keurings. And considering all my goals did well….how many foals have you taken to the keurings?

I never touted to be a top breeder. Why can’t I just be proud of what I’ve accomplished. And I absolutely agree I cannot wait for them to grow and go under saddle. But for now I’m freaking ecstatic with my program. So yes I’ll “woot woot” myself because it is an accomplishment.

Yes, that is what I was driving at. There is a difference between best (or second best) FOAL in the jumper direction and “best young jumper.” If I were the breeder of the real second best young jumper (as determined by the horse going over actual jumps), I would hope that other breeders understood the distinction and did not make unwarranted claims about their own horses.

Again this rampant I called someone a slut is not the truth 
PREACH it!
Again at the keurings my foal won best young jumper that’s wrangling through 2yo. And yes his scores best out all those wrangling-2yo in all keurings. The Canadian foal had the highest score then i tied with someone who bought their foal in Utero. All our foals topped out scores through all 2yo!

Those are absolutely lovely. You’re clearly a very talented braider!
Manes I can do, tails I suck at. Do you have tips?

Absolutely! I’m always around for tips!!! The key to tails is to drop hair as you pick it up that keeps the braid the same size in the middle. Easier said than done as it’s a simple task but sometimes your fingers don’t work that way.

I will have to give that a whirl, as a fat braid is part of my issue.
Do you pull the added hair over into the braid (french) or under (dutch)? The pictures look like french, but some it’s coming in the side and not over like a french.
It’s a nice achievement to win best young horse in the jumper DIRECTION - or even second best young horse - so congrats on that.
However, if KWPN is truly calling that accolade “best young jumper,” then it is using inaccurate terminology. The horse didn’t go over jumps, so it isn’t “the best young jumper.” I know the KWPN inspectors are some of the best and most astute horsemen and horsewomen on the planet, but misnomers of that sort will only confuse the buying public. I would suggest they reevaluate how they describe that particular program.
