Bubba, Please go to the whole board,And ask them to remove this rule for the sake of your horse and others to be shown.

Then you get the rule removed> someone comes into the ring with a horse with a bad eye wound; superating, and really ugly. What then.????Hugh

Well you put a rule saying that they can show but it has to be already healed. I don't see nothing wrong with showing a one eyed horse if it has a good gait and having one eye doesn't bother him.

Well-I am not sure but as far as a bad eye wound I would think this would fall under the DQP to catch and stop and not just eye wounds but if the horse has any wounds and is not sound to show this...

Doing Time was a one eyed hoss. Back when Walt Chism owned him and Don Milligan trained him, it was pretty gross to watch Don put that contact in DT's eye. He just kinda poked it in and on and DT...

Network has shown for a couple of years with only one eye. I dont see how if we re stated the rule that a horse could show but could not have an open wound how it would hurt. You cant show with open...

I'm new to Spotted Horses and have not heard of "Network"- is this a spotted or TWH? What happened to his eye? Is a prosthesis used?I do know the debated "one eyed horse", and must say he is a...

I too have a "one eyed" horse. I also have a "one eyed" husband, who has been blind in one eye since early childhood. Does that make him not sound? My "one eyed" husband rode my "one eyed horse" on a...

it's not uncommon for a horse who has limited or no vision in one eye to become startled and kick when approached on his "bad" side. This happened enough times that the rule is in effect in not only...

1st let me say way to go Push Another Button!Now to say my 2 cents worth: I have never seen such lame excuses!Yes a rule is rule, true but rules are made to be broken or changed! "it's not uncommon...

That's true about them kicking with both eyes good, too. We had a mare that would kick at another horse even if someone was riding her with another horse if the horse got anywhere near her. We sold...

"Rules are made to be broken or changed"....now that's a good lesson to teach our youngsters. Changed....yes, but broken ?......That's why we have so much "bickering" on here.Jack
View ArticleRe: The Great One Eyed Horse Debate
Actually that was just used as a figure of speech, rules shouldnt be broken, but they can be changed. But what amazes me that people will complain about a horse that never caused a problem in the...

Sallyjo,That's not the problem. He's a nice horse, but I'm not sure he's won more than one class yet. He has tied nicely, but not at the top. Twice he's had to excuse himself because he stepped on...

I think people here are tired of the rules being ignored, rather it be a one eyed horse or bad sportsmanship. They should ask to be put on the agenda and address the SSHBEA board of directors and see...

There has been a lot said about changing the rule in this instance and maybe it should be so, I dont really know. But while on the subject of rule changes perhaps there is a rule that needs to be...

Who are you talking about MR. H? How could that happen? Is there not a rule that will keep this forom happening? I can't beleive anyone would feel comfortable doing this. I don't think my trainer...
View ArticleRe: The Great One Eyed Horse Debate
Nor would I but there is nothing in the rules that prohibit it. All it says is that the trainer cannot show a horse that is owned the judge.Hugh

Who are you talking about doing this? I have been trying to think back for the season and can't come up with who it is you are talking about.
