Smooch, smooch, and a big hug.
Don't we all feel better?

Apology accepted, but I can’t believe and am appalled at the fact that you called me that. You should know me better by now. I figured that everyone would have known that I was being funny when I said that I was an “expert”. I wasn’t meaning to be condescending at all to anyone. BR called me hopeless first, and I wasn’t trying to be nasty to him (nor was I really being nasty to him), but I was just calling him out on his knowledge of the subject. I also still don’t know just how I misused the word irony either. Also, the jabs at my 4-H awards were condescending to me. You all don’t know how hard it is to get to that level. First you have to go to district and win. Then you have to go to state against around 250 others and do well. Then the state takes the top ten individuals and makes them compete head to head for about three months, three months of traveling all around the state visiting farms, veterinary horse centers, judging clinics, seminars, practices at NC State Vet. Hospital…etc. (I studied this stuff for four years before I was good enough to make the state team.) Then you have the final competition at Southern Regionals, and they cut the team down to four members. Then, if you even make the team, you get to compete against all of the other individuals in the nation whose states selected them in the same exact process. Some of the people who become the top vets in the nation some straight into college off of the program. Some of that is stuff is DEEP... The NC 4-H Horse Program is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I got to travel to places that I would have otherwise never gone to. Everyone who loves both education and horses should get the opportunity to experience 4-H. It was the best time of my life, and then I grew up…
Also, I don’t just show QH circuit although it is technically the A circuit. I also show AAA-C h/j shows, dressage shows, and open schooling shows. I just wanted to get all of those facts straight before anyone talks bad about me, my horses, or the 4-H again. I apologize too if I offended anyone. It wasn’t intentionally done except for maybe in BR’s case (although IMO, he deserved it because he was talking to me in a contemptuous manner from the get-go). Also, I was extremely tired last night because I was only running on four hours of sleep from the previous night. Yes, I'll apologize to you too BR. You aren't so bad because if you were, you wouldn't have apologized. I am sure that there are many subjects in the future that we will both agree and disagree on. We can move on now. I won't say another word about it. Last edited by kentuckyrosesinmay : 08-30-2006 at 08:03 PM.

I feel better too. There are some very knowledgeable people that show up on this board. Each has their own strengths. Some can watch a replay and see what needs to go right next out, some are into pedigrees, some just love the history. Capping, betting.... there are too many areas for me to even mention. Anyway, I pm'd you about conformation regarding some horses. I hope you got it. Seems that you worked real hard to gain that expertise. Anything that someone works hard at to gain expertise gets my respect. Look at all the ones that bashed Oracle on the other thread (s). He's good at what he does, as I'm sure you are as well. We only come here cause we love horse racing, horses, and talking about it. Peace. DTS
