What is a Tennessee Trailrider? What makes them an oddity as compared with trailriders from the other 49 states? I swear, we got the SSHBEA newsletter and there it was: A note about voting.....voting, mind you.... for a Tennessee Trailrider ...of the Year...yet. And apparently they come in male and female versions, as well as a group of them that must ride clad only in overalls. Are you to vote on the horse, .. the trail rider. or the overalls?
Ahhh, here is a category for out-of-state-trailrider. I guess someone who takes off on a trail ride and leaves the state of TN? I suppose this would be easy for those who live around Chattanooga. You could go up Pigeon Mtn and ride out of the state, into either Georgia or Alabama! What if you know of a trailride that rode plumb out of Ga over into Florida? That can happen down south of Vladosta. Or, does the trail ride have to start out in TN and go out of state?
Man, no wonder AQHA is such a tiny little association! I bet those dummies never even thought of having categories just for Texans, and another for all of the rest of the world.
I wonder if KMHA knows to have Kentucky-only categories and WGCs, etc, and another all-the rest-of the world category? I bet they will after they see what SSHBEA is doing! So will the good folks in Ava, Mo!
Hey, I swear, I know a lot of people have been talking about how badly there needs to be a total overhaul of SSHBEA and its leadership, rules, judging, DQP etc., but man, will we lose some quality comedy entertainment if that happens!
