Velvet, of course you are Velvet.
I just meant I was Booger Velvet before you were logged on this board. I am Velvet on another board but I use another name more because I don’t want to confuse people.
If I posted as Velvet, they would be saying “Velvet, are you sick? What is wrong with you, your wit is missing today!”
Anyway about the subject of dressage riders, heck I don’t know. I have been in barns with all disciplines and they all have their drawbacks. In an effort to get to be known as “more witty than before”, here are some of my impressions of a typical conversation with a fellow boarder in:
An arab barn: “I just bought a new horse and he is huge, 16 hands. What a neck and the best eyes you’ve ever seen”.
A Hunter barn: “What do you mean, we always set up full courses in the indoor and practice on Saturday afternoons.”
A Saddlebred barn: “Get out of the way!”
A paint western barn: “My gosh I HAVE to ride him like this when he’s 18 months. He’ll be 2 next year and after that he’s too old!”
A dressage barn: “My horse is lame again, I think I’ll have her hocks injected next week. By the way, what kind of horse is that you own, anyway? It’s thin enough to be a Thoroughbred, so I just don’t know.”
Oh (not aimed at you Velvet, just a generalization) and since this post is already too long, I should add one more thing.
If someone is really irritating you, ignore them and they will stop. Get into it with them and it will continue. All that aside, I admit I get thoroughly entertained everytime I see one of the person’s posts. So I wouldn’t want this person to go away.
Just MHO, Velvet the 2nd.
