i was just reading the report from the young rider europeans on eventingworldwide.com (and by the way may i say wat a great website it is!!
) and i cant believe the comment made about amy youngs sjing a being "certainly not textbook" - wat a horrible thing for alex colquhoun (a YR selector) to say!!! i think that is so rude and unnecessary. i dont think it is right to draw attention to something in a negative way like that. amy deserves great praise for achieving such an amazing result. double gold is great and i think positive things should be said about how she did it!! Give her credit for all her hard work and ability to cope under pressure! A clear sjing is brilliant at that competition so something like "she coped well with the difficult going" would have been a kinder thing to say i think!!! i have noticed wen reading the young rider report in the BE mag that negative and often darn right rude comments are made about some people that are not necessary! i think it is important to make positive comments about people especially young riders as people should be as encouraging as possible!! Negative and personal comments are just not necessary. It sounds bitchy and sour.
the other thing that struck me was how three of the horses were obviously not right at the trot up yet they still jumped two of them...i know its a team situation and all but are medals really more important the horse???
anyway thats my rant over. sorry about that but just had to get it off my chest!!!
