Irresistible statements in show schedules?

[JFTDWS]

Anyone else encountered these?

Whilst looking for schedules for (very small) hunter trials next month, I came across a show schedule with a phrase in it which has caused me to wrestle with a mad desire to go to it, even though it's only showing and involves a 2-3 hour drive

Has anyone else ever encountered a statement like that which means nothing in real terms, but amuses you so much you want to attend?

I thought this was a bit

Points will be deducted for the use of any bit other than a snaffle and the use of spurs

Last time I checked spurs wernt penalised for in a dressage test unless you are using them badly.

Under CRC rules spurs, non-snaffles and nosebands other than cavessons are penalised. I imagine it's because it's an M&M show though...

I didn't even look at the dr - I'd do the showing and the workers and the handy pony

I didnt imagine you would be looking at the dressage I was just scanning the rules and came across that one so had to check which class it was. Fair enough if thats the rules they run by, never competed at anything not run under BD rules .

Did you ask the queen for directions?

I can just see lolo and pony wandering up to a conservatory staring at her map and coming face to face with the queen

If only... I pottered about indefinitely until I spotted someone in similar garb and followed them at a stealthy distance. Luckily, sans pony!

(switched PCs soon after, no more Sandringham stuff !)
