As someone very famous once said: “You don’t have to be so snippy about it.”
So, here we go:
-
I understand USEF rules, and admit I don’t know them all. If I have a specific question or need clarification, I look it up in the rule book.
-
You sound very assured that she hasn’t violated any rules. It’s hard to tell if that’s your opinion, or it’s based on fact. For me, I can’t say if she has or hasn’t, because I don’t have first hand knowledge on how she runs her business.
-
The reason I believe that USEF will eventually take action is that this debacle has unearthed serious flaws in their record keeping system, awards recognition program, and their goal of “fair play”. At the very least, it screams for USEF to finally implement the UELN program (Universal Equine Life Number).
Not to mention the public relations nightmare they’re going through since their Leading Hunter Breeding Breeder has a warrant for her arrest (which involves one of their professional members).
BTW, what’s your opinion on the situation as described by the OP ?[/QUOTE]
What rule do you think she violated?
And if you think there was a rule violation then put your money where your mouth is and file a protest.
The problem with that is you need to be at she show where JB is showing and in case the lynch mob hasn’t noticed she isn’t showing much.
Also USEF’s records are a points based system. Has nothing to do with Fair Play. It’s who has the most points. And LMAO another way to bring in UELN. Never happen. Too many horses would be prevented from showing.
They really don’t care what JB does or doesn’t do as long as she doesn’t break a USEF rule or have a criminal conviction for some of the charges I’ve already mentioned.
Why would you think USEF cares how she runs her business.
If that was the case many of the BNT trainers would be in trouble with USEF.
However,USEF has suspended people for making threats against other exhibitors and many of you ( and that includes you Mardi) are really close to the line on that issue.
You need to read the Ted Stevens Act regarding preventing athletes from competing. And the USEF Bylaws.
For two reasons. One the right to compete. Two so you will understand what the NGB’s role is. And I’ll give you a clue, it has nothing to do with breeding and silly UELN numbers.
The warrants against her are YEARS old. Never bothered USEF. Never bothered anybody on here till recently. and yet many of you still do business with her.
I suspect there is a whole different side to this story. Like how come there are Old NA papers in JB’s name ? Who paid the stud fees? Or were they paid? Very often someone comes on this board and makes up a story with the other party not being present to refute it. Amd all the ‘gang’ jumps on and posts stupid stuff without any basis in fact. For example, the horse in question hasn’t ever shown. Yet people are asking how did JB have the money for entry fees.
If I owned one of her stallions offspring and that horse was winning I’d be wondering what recourse I had against many of the people on this board because you are lowering the value of every horse she bred. And some of you even own horse by her stallion. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot !!
