well, last time i entered a halter class at the camp, my friend and i groomed our horse every day during freetime, because he was a mess, and also cause he was my fave horse and grooming him just gave him company and i felt happy.he has one of the stalls that face the main walkway, so all the counselors/judges saw me grooming him. (i groomed even if the daily halter prep hadnt started yet)
do you think that the judges thought i was trying too hard and thats y i didnt place? (im not trying to be a goodie 2 shoes) but all my friends said he was amazingly groomed, and that i should have won...
the judges picked the winning horse because he felt fuzzy! they said so!
oh well, but do u think grooming for fun made them think i was a goodie 2 shoes, or what's ur opinion?
Answers:
Generally halter class is "supposed" to be judged on the horse's conformattion, nothing else. A well groomed horse looks presentable in ring, but when it comes down to everything it's only supposed to be the best conformation that wins the blue ribbon. Each judge is different in their judging style and what they like to see, so even though this judge didnt place your horse, another judge might have. Placing is just merely the judges opinion of your horse. So I highly doubt that the judge thought you were a goodie 2 shoes. But did probably appreciate the fact that you spent so much time grooming your horse to look presentable for the show.
That is strange to say they picked the winner because he felt "fuzzy." Was it a winter show? Maybe they were looking to see if he had a proper winder coat grown in. It's not that plausible I know, but it's the only explaination that I can think of. That or the judges just liked fuzzy horses!
Grooming for fun is one of the best things you can do for your horse! I don't see why they would think you were trying too hard to win; it's a great way to spend time with your horse and regular grooming improves their health. Good job!
first of all ive been around horses my hole like and these are based on my experiences. i doubt that the judge thought you were trying to hard they usually like effort but it depends on what kinda show yall were entering.. the other horse may have just been better built.. you apperance usually also effects somewhat (not how pretty you are but your choices in clothing like if it was a showmanship class you would dress fancier than a reining class) some times judges favor the person who hired them also..but i doubt they thought you were a goodie 2 shoes though.. good luck on your next show =)
No, they didn't think that. There was more to it than that.
nope not at all! is brushing your own hair making you a goodie 2 shoes? but the judge thing? they most likely were not real judges. if they were a real judge, they would have looked at the horse's apperance and yours, and the performance. why were they touching the horse in the first place?
The judges said they picked the winner because he was fuzzy? What kind of judges are they? Are they judging stuffed animals?
A halter horse is a horse who has good confirmation, balanced, a nice neck, head, withers, hind quarters and tracks well. Good grief. It saddens me to hear the judges picked the winner because he was FUZZY. I just fainted.
