 >Also sometimes gaited horses compete even in a regular
class and just accept the deductions.<

Hardy, you "hit the nail on the head":   accepting the deductions is a small
price to pay for the fun you can have with a less than perfect turnout,
"according to the rules".    It's the same for someone who can only own or
bring one carriage to a CDE....they may accept the deductions in
presentation.....     I was once marked down because I drove a bay and a
chestnut in a pair...."didn't match" said the judge.   I said, "they are
both brown", but took the "hit on points"....and had a very good time, thank
you very much.

Bottom line: Don't be afraid to compete because you don't have the "proper
this or the proper that"..... You can also offer your services as a
navigator....

Going out to play, now.
