Mine? My filly, Belle, was galloping in the pasture, hit a slick spot, wiped out, jumped up, shook, and did it all over again. It was like she'd decided it was pretty fun to fall down.

I know you're out there. I saw my traffic today, and there are a lot of you dropping in, but now I want to hear from you... Just a word or two. A story about your horse. What funny things does he do? What was your best show performance, ever? What is the one thing that makes your horse spook? What's his favorite treat (and please don't tell me "McDonalds").

Write your stories! Today!

Comments please!

New USEF Opportunity Classes Offer More Showing Options for Exhibitors and Competition Management

Lexington, KY - In an effort to allow more flexibility and more classes at USEF licensed competitions and to get more people involved in showing horses, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has initiated new opportunities for exhibitors to compete at particular competitions. A new rule was approved by the Executive Committee on February 20, 2007 with an effective date of April 1, 2007.

This new rule, GR331 Opportunity classes, applies to breed-restricted, Western regular or local breed-restricted and/or Western competitions. This rule also allows for additional benefits through the USEF and will help to engage new exhibitors.

Equestrian Federation's Opportunity Classes: Getting the Masses Involved? Or Just More Marketing?

Posted by emily on 3/20/2007 on emily's blog

So I received this press release from the United States Equestrian Federation today. Is it me, or is this completely incomprehensible? (Posted below, in italics). Perhaps if they want more people to get involved with the federation, they should write in English. But enough critiquing of the writing. What do you think about this idea? They want to reach out to engage new exhibitors. Is this the way to do it? I'm searching for comments, thoughts, ideas on ways to grow all equestrian sports. Post below or add to the forum topic, Rules and Regs!
