There is nothing wrong with either situation as long as you are ultimately enjoying your horses. I for one, am currently not showing. I go to tons of horse shows, but instead of hauling a horse, I am hauling the tack shop trailer. My perfectly good CEP gelding is now my perfectly good stress-reducing psychologist and physical therapist. ...

Halter classes are poorly supported, shows schedule for them but end up with "dead time" and the expense of ribbons that are not used. Since I am not actively showing at this time, this is still just rumor as far as I am concerned, but what do you folks that are showing hear and think about the possibility.

Please post the names are why they are ammy friendly. I'll start with two: Alstair Buchanan - sport horse. He is very positive and encouraging. He gives helpful tips as to how to better present your horse. His written comments are useful and accurate. Margaret Rich - community shows. Margaret has judged two of my club's community shows. She's real positive and encouraging. She gives good verbal ...

Would you please explain to me the ins and outs of the amateur classes? I was excited over participating in the amateur classes, but it seems they may not truly be "amatueur."

What is up with "amateurs" showing horses they don't truly own in the AAOTR classes?

I'm not finding a clear answer in the rules about how the classes work.]]> TASH'S TAKE w/ your host TASHA TINAGERO Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:00:33 GMT http://theammyarmy.forumotion.com/tash-s-take-w-your-host-tasha-tinagero-f74/aaotr-and-aatr-classes-t684.htm#5444 http://theammyarmy.forumotion.com/tash-s-take-w-your-host-tasha-tinagero-f74/aaotr-and-aatr-classes-t684.htm http://theammyarmy.forumotion.com/tash-s-take-w-your-host-tasha-tinagero-f74/aha-halter-scoring-system-t530.htm dave Last year, two young California horses, Del's colt Premo and my filly Zofia were the poster children for the scoring system on another forum. I started the thread and Del jumped in later. Our horses were supported by some and trashed by others. I haven't shown in halter this year and I was wondering how things are going with the new system. I you've shown in halter this year, please post some comments. What I'm really interest in is how ammys are doing both in ammy and open halter.

This section has been made avaliable so that we can discuss the "hot" topics effecting amateur exhibitors. This doesn't mean the gossip or he-said-she-said nonsense, but the issues currently affecting how we as amateurs (and youth!) enjoy out horses within the Arabian horse industry. The point of the Army is to have a group of amateurs supporting each other, this ...
