Tell me what I have to learn, and then I will go learn it. I think I could easily turn this situation the other way around. I may be young, but I'm not stupid or ignorant. If you work around horses for awhile, you realize that you can never learn everything. Just because I say that I still have a lot to learn does not mean that I don't already have a vast overall knowledge of horses or the sport of horse racing. If I didn't, I wouldn't have won those educational hippology awards from Quarter Horse Congress, Southern Regionals, and Eastern Nationals. I wouldn't have been Horseman of the Year. We cover every kind of topic imaginable that deals with horses. Yes, we are asked in-depth questions about horse racing in those competitions as well. That was three year ago. I know a lot more now. It is ironic how someone such as yourself points out that I need to learn more.

that's not irony...go to lit class
quarter horses? go back to 4-H club little girl
and stop wasting my time

You just made a complete a s s of yourself as I knew you would. Actually you have been doing it for quite some time. I've having fun playing these mind games. Now everyone else knows the truth. LMAO.

Definition of Irony- The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.

A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.

Also, if I am making you waste your time, then go get a real life. Go study. Go learn about horse racing and life. IMO, this entire thread clearly shows that you need to work on both.

Actually Jessica, it shows that you need to work on both. I am absolutely speechless (doesn't happen often either) at the size of your head. Unbelievable... you're the only one on this thread that looks like an idiot.

You're not riling me up.

I hope we have a chance to show against eachother one day. Riding is one thing that you won't ever beat me at. (I'm definitely no expert on conformation in thoroughbreds like YOU are.)

Riding is one thing that I will never beat you at? Ha. How many champions have you trained? How much money have you and your horses won? How do you know if you are better than me? Have you ever seen me ride? Now you are resorting to the same tactics you accussed me of. I love the hypocracy in it all.

Why am I an idiot? Is it simply because I pointed out the obvious facts. Please explain to me how I misused the word irony. Come on. Enlighten me. I find it funny how all of you can call me out and attack me, but no one can seem to answer my questions. BR never showed me any credibility for all of his negative comments to me. Yet, when I did establish some credibility, it was said that I have an enormous ego. Besides I know a secret about you that I didn't want to get out. HINT: I show on the QH breed shows and another poster on here does to.

Interesting, I don't show on the QH circuit. I owned an appendix who I showed on the A circuit over ten years ago in the 3'6" amateur owner jumpers. I haven't had a horse in over 4 years since I gave him away to a friend in Jacksonville. And you did misuse the term "ironic." What I have a hard time understanding is how you say you're an "expert" on conformation analysis. Just a hint for you girl... 4-H is a lot different than the racing industry. I still haven't seen your analysis on Bernardini and Barbaro. Waiting...

I wouldn't pay any attention to the insults. I find you to be very knowledgable and very respectful. I don't find any truth to the negative things that a couple of posters have said to you. When you are good at something, there will always be a few people who won't like it. It comes with the territory. I wouldn't let it bother you.

Thanks. Yeah, I just went back and re-read the entire thread. I may have gone a little overboard due to a lack of patience (and sleep!) from being personally attacked, but I didn't say anything all that bad. It was time to quit when they started pointing out typos, when they couldn't give me any credentials because it was "bragging" even though one poster said that they knew that they would beat me in the show ring without knowing my experience (bragging), or when they wouldn't specifically tell me how I misused the word irony. Well, I didn't misuse the word irony. I'm done with this thread because it doesn't really make any sence anyway...not when a poster says that Barbaro is INDEED better than Bernardini at this point. I think that they are pretty even, but I do think that Bernardini will win the year end honors because I am expecting great things to come from this horse. I'd say he handles the JCGC field fairly easily, and with the JCGC win will come year end honors.


HEY PAIS

As a "conformation expert and analyst" you should know that MANY horses are great in spite of thier conformation not because of it.

That right there tells me your knowledge of the subject. Conformation is form to function. Without proper conformation, you don't get the desirable function or it makes the horse more susceptible to injury. Just because a horse has weak parts in their conformation doesn't mean that they aren't specifically bred to have those weak points because some of those weak points enhances their ability to perform in certain disciplines. Take sickle-hocks in reining horses for example.

Also, please point out how I have contradicted myself just as how did I misuse the word irony? Don't just point out a mistake, tell why it is a mistake. Answer this: What is another name for sway back in horses? How about this; which croup as far as overall conformation goes is better, Barbaro's or Bernardini's? Which one's hip is better? Now, which one is more desirable for racing and why? You can even redeem yourself to me if you can answer these questions in a coherent manner. I even gave you a clue.

Jessica you just don't get it. What you know about thoroughbred racing is the equivalent to a rain drop compared to Lake Michigan. The country fair second place ribbons don't mean anything, except you're an earthy, plain jane "horsie girl", the kind that always gave me the creeps everytime I visted a horse farm, or attended a horse show. I feel no need to validate my knowledge to you because you're so full of yourself you wouldn't listen anyway. Your conformation analysis was "Secretariat wasn't the best, this other horse was". Ok, that's a wealth of information, boy oh boy. Like I said, go bother someone else because you have proved yourself unworthy of my time and energy. I'm sorry for being mean but your like a bad rash which just won't go away, and itching it only makes it worse.

yeah no sh*t sherlock--my point was that there are many thoroughbreds out there who would not measure up to your lofty conformation standards and yet they still manage to run and win and get winners themselves.
I have no idea what you are talking about as I never said you misused the word irony...and I graduated from college some time ago, I have nothing to prove to you so you can take your little quiz and shove it where the sun don't shine.

cajun is absolutely correct here...Jessica you have no idea who on this board is involed in the TB industry and trust me you left off a number of names...not everyone feels the need to shout from every street corner how f'ing fantastic they are. As a "conformation expert and analyst" you should know that MANY horses are great in spite of thier conformation not because of it. You DO NOT know all there is to know about this subject, nor are you the only one with experience judging horses; but show horses and races horses as I am sure you understand are different and the number of times you have contradicted yourself in your own analysis of varoius horse in different threads is completely laughable.
