I thought that #4 on the list was related. But I’m out of the loop. 
Honestly, unless you have serious bandwidth issues, if you ride an Olympic discipline, pour yourself a glass of wine and sit down in front of the fire and just dooo iiittt……
It’s 3 modules of roughly half an hour each.
I learned a few things so I am glad that I did it.
Oh - I already did mine. I had no issues with it whatsoever. It’s a good training!
Many sports, including horse-riding, could use a little introspection on what is considered acceptable coaching behavior. Maybe this will help provide it.
I thought I’d breeze through it with a “yeah, yeah, Captain Obvious” attitude, but there were definitely several things that made me think.

I think because I’d been through several university trainings it wasn’t particularly new (but it was well done). I don’t think anyone’s objection is to the training itself, but rather “the things that come with it”. I have no distrust of the USEF, but others do, and I think that’s a part of what’s impacting it all.
The Quarter Horse Congress is run by the Ohio QH Association, not AQHA. 
AQHA itself doesn’t run any shows other than the World Championship shows which don’t offer any futurity classes. Congress also has NSBA, NRCHA and NCHA classes and likely some other associations I can’t remember right now.

That ‘shane whatever’ blog site is ridiculous click bait. If the USEF administratively violates due process by acting in an “arbitrary and capricious” manner which harms a person financially, they are subject to a lawsuit, and will lose.
There are administrative policies and procedures in almost every organization you are a member of, or interact with.
:lol::lol::lol:
Listen, I’m sure someone who goes down is going to sue, but presently most of the people who’ve received life time bans under safe sport have criminal records supporting the bans. It’s cool that you’re ok with criminal sex offenders making their living off of mostly women and children, but the IOC is not.
you seem great, you should post more.
Thanks. BTW, love your avatar.
I didn’t take that by their post. Unless you meant me, because I asked the original question.
I’m trying to sort out things I’ve heard, and concerns that others have expressed to me that I wanted to see if this board had discussed to determine whether there was any validity to them. Since I’ve been out of the showing loop for a few years, I thought maybe there was something I didn’t know, and internet searches weren’t coming up with much that was useful - lots of gossip about various trainers who had been set down, but nothing really helpful and detailed. The FAQ page as it was linked on the USEF page was also broken, so I was a little frustrated at the lack of information.
I’ve already taken my training and had zero issues doing so. I’m not a pro, and have no problems with the rules as they are set forth. I most likely won’t even be showing in 2019, so the only part that affects me is doing the training. I’m a really boring member, who pays my competition dues every year, and then something happens to my horse and I don’t get to show, so I just support the USEF and get the magazine and I’m fine with that.
This board has expressed that the issues that the AHA, AHSA, and other member organizations have with USEF are different, which is good! The people who were reflecting those concerns to me were conflating issues - great to know! Appreciate the insight from others - I can pass that on to my trainer, and she can focus on the right things.
Thank you! One of the great loves of my life :love-struck:
No, I am pretty sure she was referring to the ubiquitous “you”, as in people who don’t care about such things.
I hear quite a few men say this - it is a very sad commentary on how messed up our culture is becoming,
Ahhh…so “one” 
Man, English can be so confusing sometimes.

My husband says this, and does this. Even when he has to take home our daughter’s friends. When she was smaller and we’d go to the playground, kids would run up and hug me, I’d hug them back. My barn “kids” would hug me, he always says “I can never do that, I’m afraid someone would take it the wrong way”. I used to think he was paranoid.
Unfortunately, I’ve known about three local cases where men were wrongly accused of molesting, and even with total exoneration, and the accusers admitting they lied, these men will never get their lives back. Sadly, false accusations are something that have to be considered.
Often the original charge is widely reported, but an exoneration usually isn’t publicized as well.
