How are classes pinned?

Yeah- maybe no one is “willfully misunderstanding” but your point wasn’t clear. You last post- 100000% agree. The color of the ribbon- let’s face it we all enjoy a good win - shouldn’t be the only driver IMO.

I do eyeroll (and try realllly hard not to) when I see people post their blue ribbons from a jumper show that is given if they are clear. The classes aren’t pinned- you get a blue if you are clear and nothing if you aren’t. People post their “we got a blue ribbon” and yes- I eye roll. And then remind myself that it may be the only blue they’ll ever get and give some grace

I mean, hey, a clear round is still something and maybe they’re proud of that. Who am I to talk. I don’t even jump anymore nevermind produce a clear round but I get your point. I didn’t experience pinning/scoring like that when I competed in jumping years ago, but if that’s the way it is, then sobeit. I don’t love it though.

I agree with you. My bone of contention above is that the trainer inferred that the ribbons were all firsts from pinned classes as opposed to a blue ribbon for a clear warm up trip.
