Come back real soon now, ya' hear?!
I watched the big 4star Rolex 3Day Event this weekend and saw some Olympic hopefuls interviewed full of grace and patience after their grueling competitive challenges and others who were rude and strained. It struck me how obviously they treated their horses and others around them. Fortunately clearly the good guys won that event.
This morning, catching up on the newspaper, I was reading about Occupy SEC an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street. Turns out there is also one called Occupy Banking trying to design an Alternative Bank system nationally, referred to as Alt. Banking right now. One of their meetings was - now I will just quote the paper "devoted to Psychopathy and Finance... a Polish study that shows those who lead our society - corporate executives, financiers,,, tend to exhibit psychopathic personalities, as the system rewards them for being ruthless." And I thought, ah, that explains the riders vying for selection to the Olympics. Do I whiff a working group for Occupy Dressage anyone?
(DFTROU Answers: Something will be going on for Olympics in London this year for sure. Everyone has their thinking cap on. Some may be ruthless, but middle aged women can be........ persistant. )

Too unbearable to read, too unbearable not to read. Thank you for this piece. I don't think I'll ever be able to erase the face of Gitana from my mind.
(DFTROU Answers: Yes, the picture is unforgettable. I was also very moved by the picture of the horse with a spur slash and am repeatedly moved by the rolkur/LDR/Hyperflexion nonsense. I cringe when I see excessive spurring or yanking on the bit no matter the discipline. You're very welcome, all I ask is that you share the piece so that maybe..... maybe......... some horse some where will be spared a moment's distress. Or more.)
