Heres one for the judges to put some of the ridiculous/funny things competitors have said to you, my fave is the girl with the sec D mare who said 'please excuse her behaviour, I think shes come in to season as shes farting a lot' ;D

Just as I was being hoisted onto to ride a very large and swishy tailed hunter mare the rider said "It's probably best you don't sit down much as I think she is going to buck"
After telling one competitor with a grossly overweight cob "In my opinion I'm afraid I do think your animal is carrying far too much weight which I think is spoiling it's action"
The retort was "Well we didn't come here looking for a judges opinion....."

I heard one competitor in a championship Final at PUK summer champs (one she had to qualify for!) apologise for her pony's behaviour - "this is his first ever show!"  |

I heard a competitor ask the judge in a riding horse class I had just competed in, why a lame horse had been placed first, the judge replied.
"oh I thought it was lame too but when I asked the rider they said it wasn't lame it just goes like that" !!!!

when my son (aged 10) was asked by the judge in a SHP class who he hunted with, he replied:
"with my mummy and this pony of course"

I heard a lady at a show a few weeks ago with her horse leading it to an in hand class having a go at it ( not sure what it had done ) she then said right now smile and let's go!!!! I often say daft things to mine, its more the tone than the sentiment, lets face it me saying 'sort your life out' or 'get a grip' means nothing to them, but the tone of voice speaks volumes! My main silly comment scenarios always seem to be with coloured cobs. One year I drew a competitors attention to her horses lower legs, 'such a shame about the mud fever causing such attention to my eye,' rider 'he's never had mud fever' me 'Have you used hot clipper blades on the legs perhaps?' rider 'he has'nt been clipped'. The poor horses legs were neon pink and obviously clipped to within an inch of their life. I step back, to first placed I say, 'lap of honour please'. One particularly bad example that made me worry for the security of my teeth, whilst just watching it trot, and taking everything else into consideration had no place to put it other than bottom of the line was snarled at by the handler 'what did you not like about MY horse then?' Tactfully not replying 'everything', I started topline (non) movement (somewhat earthbound, shoulder not quite what I was happy with etc) and getting nowhere, moved onto the lower leg, I can only describe that area as like socks where the elastic had gone and had gathered around the fetlock and coronet band in a very un-natural way. 'Perhaps he has...' 'NO!" 'Well then maybe......' 'NO! Its hair and as he needs to be sedated to be clipped, I did'nt think it worthwhile putting him through all that trauma for THIS!!!!' "Well all I can say this is not a clean limb, and I am looking today for amongst other things, a clean limb' Step back, to first placed etc etc. Unreal. |

I was in a mountain and moorland class and we were doing lead rein, along with a few others. we were placed first and the people who were placed fourth seemed happy enough with their placing.
Judge says to them, your jockey has earings in, we dont really approve of this as a health and safety issue.
'Ok' says the person and they seemed happy enough still.
Person does lap of honour and exits with everyone else. Friends and relatives on the sideline ask what the judge said
to which they replied 'she said if my jockey hadnt had earings in, we would have won!!'
Did make me giggle xx

had a lead rein mummy on the end of a very smart but elderly pony that was crippled lame. Placed other less glamorous ponies above it much to her obvious disgust. On handing out the rosettes, in a low voice I said I'm afraid I can't place your pony any higher today as IMO it is very lame behind. Her reply; " Oh I know that it's lame but it IS being treated by Mr (local well known bone cracker)" as if that in itself allowed her to bring the poor thing and I was supposed to place it!?

In a bonny pony class, young lady (18ish) with a big, shiny sec d mare who had won every class all day and held the bonny pony up as she was in her championship for her ring.
Judge says 'shes very beautiful but its hard to place you with her when its little girls in a bonny pony class with their little ponies'
young lady replies 'I only brought her in as a warm up!!!!!'
To what I wanted to ask! Getting back on the lorry and going home with a huge stash of rossies and sash's and a bonny pony trophy! PMSL!!

I was in a ridden mixed cob class and i was lucky enough to be pulled in first. however a cracking big cob was next to me and the woman was a rather old lady and snarled at me., i went out to do my show on my liittle C and she went foot perfect i was so pleased with her. the woman went out and did her show which was uhmm okay? she did the most fantastic gallop and returned to the line up with a smile on her face., she turned round to a friend outside the ring, nodded and put her thumb up as if to say "oh ive got this", as the final ponyt went out and i straightened up quest the judged turneed to us and said i will leave them as they are. i was shocked  my little c against this massive d! The woman however her face dropped, we did a lap of honour and the woman tryed to push my pony into the fence, upon returning to my box i had to walk past her trailer to get to the lorry the woman stared at me and spoke loudly into my face saying "stupid seciton c's that class was fixed as soon as she walked in it" i simply shouted "snooby cow". when collecting my trophy later on i realised why she was angry! shed won the trophy every year since it had been given. Good enough for her. gracefully loose. |

when my daughter was in a lead rein class the judge asked her name and her pony's name. Daughter told her Raegan and Frog, to which the judge replied thats an unusual name (meaning the pony obviously) to which Raegan replied yes i was named after the little girl in The Exorcist and my daddy thought my mum was an evil cow for calling me it! Oh the shame!!!!!!!!  The novelties seem to bring out the worst in some people, last month at our local RC a teenager took her very tightly plaited show pony into the longest mane and when the judge said she couldn't really tell how long her pony's mane was she indicted the length to be somewhere between the shoulder and knee! Yeah right love, the judge ain't stupid ;D |

I love these too - I don't have any to add (luckily I guess). I know someone who was named after the Exorcist girl, though her name is spelt Reagan, so you can tell your daughter she's not the only one |
