I can't believe USEA!!!

I think the point Harmony is trying to make is that:

(a) most competent upper-level (prelim riders and up) competitors have a hard time getting sponsership, even the successful ones

and

(b) much less a rider who has never competed in a rated event. And never competed about prelim. Not saying it’s not possible, it’s just weird.

I think everyone on this forum is well aware of the benefits of sponsers. You can check your attitude at the door - there are LOTS of experienced riders and competitors on these boards who have loads more experience than you. It just sounds like an odd situation, forgive some people for looking askance at it. The fact that you’re acting like you’re the center of the universe & expecting everything to be done on YOUR time so you can do whatever YOU need to do - forget the fact that the weather has been miserable & the USEA has THOUSANDS of others to worry about in addition to you - yeah, it’s going to make people a little cranky.

I’ve been following this thread, and you make the valid points that I was thinking. It’s pretty amazing to be that young (I’m assuming “young” here by the dreadful spelling and entitled attitude) and be able to gain sponsorship when one hasn’t ever even ridden in a rated (does that equate to sanctioned USEA event)? Much less at Training level.

Gee, why didn’t I think of that 25 years ago? Silly me .

As for delving into 'your" personal business, you came onto a public forum and bitched and whined that the USEA has done you a disservice-and then expected that everyone here was going to jump on your little pitty party bandwagon. Get real-I’m sure the O’Connors have had to wait for things too. If I were working there and heard your nasty attitude? I for one would put your paperwork at the bottom of the stack. That’s how the real world works sweetie.

I thought that to have offical sponsors with the USEA did you not have to be part of the American Horse Trail foundation, have done a one star and have two or three letters of recommendation(sp) from pros in the field.? And if you are going to have sponsors, does this make you a pro and inelligable for young rider stuff because of the money factor.
I am thinking the rule book from the USEF needs to be looked at .

I went to that thread—all I can say is that when you write your letters to your “sponsors”, get a dictionary. Ure is actually spelled “You’re”…there are many more, but it sure would make your letters (and your posts quit frankly) more professional.

And what do you mean by dropped? Did you think someone would make that thread go away or something? Just curious.

I’m gonna have to go play this penguin game, I’m feeling a bit feisty now after reading the dressage bb

I was wondering about that as well-My friend’s daughter does HJ, but I think it’s all still under what had been AHSA…now UsAEq or whatever. Patty had looked into sponsorships for her daughter, but ran into the dilemma of losing one’s amateur status when accepting money. I think she just gave up on the idea, but it certainly is worth wondering about.

I’m still pretty blown out of the water that WHW is 18–I thought much more like 14 or so. Wow is all I can say!

Penguin game? Cool! I’m going to have to check this forum more than just once a night. You guys are leaving me behind! Some people have to get out and ride everyday. Ha! Ha!

As for the original thread; sorry, but I don’t join in anyone’s pity party. At the age of 18, I was still WISHING my parents would BUY me a horse. I had wanted one since the day I was born and had to wait until after I got out of college, got a job and could buy one with my own money (age 24). And, 14 years and 5 horses later, I am stilly paying for everything myself, training them myself, riding them myself, grooming them myself,… lets see… the list goes on… running a breeding farm, birthing babies, feeding, mucking, dragging pastures, bushhogging, planting grass, fertilizing, building fences, and working a real job outside the house. (I’m sure I’ve left out a few things). Pity parties? Nope, don’t have the time.

So, count yourself fortunate to even have a horse at the age of 18. There is always something to be thankful for.

However, you put “your” problem out there for us to share so technically, it’s no longer just “your” problem is it?

Suck it up and deal with the fact that 99% of the individuals reading your carping find your attitude utterly obnoxious!

ARRRGH- What is the MATTER with me? I just STRUCK OUT about 10 times!! Then I got a 587.1, so FINALLY I can go have a beer. I guess I should have had beer instead of tea this morning!

[AJHorsey]

Can someone please post the penguin game for me? I tried the one on the dressage thread, and it doesn’t work for me anymore. I need to practice!

Oh yeah… umm horse related…uh…
I had a really great ride today! (2 1/2 hrs- and he behaved through it all! Yipee!)

Um… topic related…err…
Not just to bring up an old part of this thread, but I am 18 yrs, pay for my own horse (+ expenses), membership fees, and entry fees. It’s tough, like I don’t get to do as many activities with my friends, but I make do. I am moving my horse up to training hopefully this summer, too.

In another thread, someone in the know said that there is no new medical card for 2004, you are supposed to use the (lime green) one issued in 2003. But the most important thing is that you have the current, correct information. It is probably acceptable to use a copy on white paper.

WRT the Areas, and their numbers. I don’t know, but I have assumed that they started off with a small number of regions. When there were enough members/events in an existing area to split it, one piece got the original number, and the other piece got the next unused number. I don’t KNOW that is how it works, but it seems consistent with the numbering scheme.
