Virtual fluff heading your way :)
As i have said before, there is something i can learn from so many on
this ng....
you get the point. i still, however, would be leary of trusting
Cindi's student, but i do admire Cindi's committment to her. It's
very easy for ALL of us to say "you need to do this", but reality is
oftentimes different.
Everyone is going to make up their own mind. We always do. The people here can only go on the information given. Post on a dicey topic and you will be damn sure to get plenty of feedback! But, that would be the reason for the existence of the wreck, right?
I like the KISS method myself. If you prove yourself to be a liar, and exhibit malicious behavior, your role in my life will be severely restricted.
Sure, it's hard. It's almost ALWAYS much more difficult to do the right thing. Especially with family members, your own children, etc. That would be one reason why society ends up with so many farked up human beings roaming around. It was much harder for the people who loved them to make the tough choice. You can rationalize, rationalize, rationalize it all away.
The most important thing i have learned, is that the more i learn, the
more convinced i am of how much more i NEED to learn. As i said
before, I was not going to pick apart a rider in a photo, my concern
(and still is) is that she directly went against Cindi's wishes. In
the long run...that can have more dire consequences than not riding
well.
I am the last person to critique form, but this last exercise was certainly not about that. It was like looking at a series of shots of a train wreck. And the one paying the price was the animal.
Cindi can rationalize it away now, but she was shedding tears the other night.
