I think that you perhaps missunderstood me a little bit. What I said was not ment to any special person. It was ment to all of us horsefreeks. I know that everyone have his right to defend his opinion and what he/she believe on.
What I ment is that people have always talked about others and it probably always will be so. So what I ment to all, is that we should not care what people say or not.
It´s the same prejudices against the cowboy culture in the State and specially from Europe. The cowboy culture have unfortunately been twisted from Hollywood films etc.
The cowboy culture where the Western riding actually come from, is a further development from earlier Scandinavian cavallery (big Sweden when Sweden was a superpower in Europe) and also with portugies and spanish influence.
So you Swedes have a lot in common with what you today call western riding. The most of the first (cowboys) that took care of a cattle spread came from north europe, actually Sweden, Norway. Scottland, Ireland etc.
You know more than 25% of our Swedis population emigraited to USA. Further! the so called english riding have its routs from several King houses in Centre Europe.
What I ment with my earlier words was that the attack to each other is totaly meanless and I tell that to all of us that need to do this. We should stick together instead for what we defend and that is, our personaly conection to our horses, no mather style.
So let us care about our horses instead and stand over this "talk". You know "when the argument is finished, the stubilety take over"
But i do understand your reaction and You know? there is more "westernriding" than "classic" in the world but it dosen't prove
nothing. Right?
Me personaly, I dont even know how to ride Classic (europen) I think I probably would make suicide if I tried.
Regards
Ike
