MFP, I actually always wear a hairnet, schooling show or not. I'm not at all jealous of HP. I'd rather know I've earned EVERYTHING I've got. You know working after school for 2 hours mucking stalls, all day on the weekend, riding ponies no one else would touch, etc.

As for Trillium, it's considered Silver level by Equine Canada, and gold is the A circuit, but in the states I guess it goes C, B, A, AA or whatever, not Bronze, Silver, Gold. Hence why I said it's B. I was trying to relate it in other people's terms.

There are MANY divisions on Trillium. It starts leadline, walk/trot, crossrail, short stirrup, Children's training hunter(2 ft to 2'6), Hi-Lo Novice Hunter( 2 ft OR 2'6), Children's Pony Hi-Lo(2 ft or 2'6),Then Small/Med(Rider is 15 and under), and Large Pony divisions, Modified Children's Hunter(2'9), Children's Hunter(3 ft), Adult training hunter(2'6),Adult mod. hunter(2'9), Adult/Amateur Hunter(3 ft), Hi-Lo Hunter(3'6 or 4 ft) Trillium Hunter(4 ft), then the jumpers.Training, Trillium and Ad/Am I believe that are from 2'9 to 3'6.

Even on the A circuit, there is green horse/beginning rider divisions that are only 2'6. What do you mean that B only starts at 3 ft? We obviously do not live in the same place and if you'd listen to what I said, I'd said I shown ON the B circuit. Not in the B's. there are different divisions on every circuit.

I just don't like the way HP responds. It's not her opinion, it's how she presents it. Like I said, she could very well have said "Don't wear a show bow, it's not ment for hunters. " Not ,"Everyone will LAUGH at you" and then go on to tell the story of how one girl wore one to a schooling show and the whole situation was fixed and kepy 'hush hush". Like that doesn't make her sound like a stuck up snob at all. I'm simply pointing out, that it is quite acceptable in many places to wear show bows and that not everyone is a hunter princess showing on the A's.


ETA; and Numnah, all my show pictures are of crossrails because thats why I showed with MY horse. I don't post photos of me riding other horses because of privacy reasons and that fact I don't own them.

There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.

TTL;
two years and many more. <3
