[drivingpairs] Re: good time for a minor vent // now for my point



I forgot my main point, sorry.

A couple of years ago, a 4-H girl and mom contacted me
to see if they could ask a BIG favour and borrow a
cart and harness for the State 4-H show (it went very
well, actually, don't worry!!!!)

They came out and brought their dog-ugly pony -- who
is broke WONDERFULLY and does driving, hunter, western
pleasure, dressage and BARRELLS!!!! -- and drove him. 
They said they had had one lesson from someone else
who had told them their harness and cart were too
small..... I asked who it was (they live next county
over) and they told me it was the aforementioned....
and I couldn't help myself but say, "But he's a
BEGINNER DRIVER himself!"

And the girl said, "Mom, I TOLD YOU!!!!"  Very
perceptive teen-ager, and a wonderful girl!

And they were asking about this thing called "taking a
loop"..... they didn't understand just what it was. I
told them they wouldn't be worrying about that unless
they were driving a four-in-hand.... and they said
that "John" had mentioned somehting about their having
to "take a loop" as they were driving their single
pony....

At any rate, they did well -- second -- at the Finals.
 Showed me the video.  Her big-headed 20+ year old
pony was the ONLY entry to execute a strong trot.  But
I think there was prejudice toward the Morgan with the
tail dragging the ground pulling a meadowbrook because
they looked prettier.  At least she beat the cute
little minis with their harnesses and carts fitted
improperly and hitched wrong...
