at unaffiliated SJ yesterday, just with the ponies. VEry crowded in pony standing area (all lined up).
There had just been a big commotion, so lots of agitated horses, sister had to walk past to get into arena to get a rosette (came 2nd).
Aske da woman who was standing in the way to please move, woman moved a little bit, sister asked if horse (who had ears flat back and was stamping feet) would kick. Woman said no(in a very abrupt manner), sister said ok, just wanted to be sure as it looked grumpy (and went carefully past).
I suspect if she had touched it, it might well have kicked, but the woman was very rude about being asked if her horse kicked (she was just standing holding it)
Do you mind if people ask you if your horse kicks? I ask anyone I HAVE to walk behind in standing areas whose horses are close or look like they would be inclined to. My horses are too important! Is this not the way things are done?
