Back from a weekend in Cowansville, Quebec for a hockey tournament. My musings on the differences between horse shows and hockey tournaments are up today on the Chronicle of the Horse.
Horse Shows vs. Hockey Tournaments

Although my wife is one of the most intellegent people i know and almost perfect in all that she does, i have to throw the flag after reading this one. Granted, hockey season no week at Club Med. It is cold, expensive and goes on for months. But worse than the horse show season? Honey, where ever you are buying that crack that you are smoking, please stop. As i recall, the weekend of the area finals here in Colchester Vermont, the temperature was in the twenties….in September! I considered killing a horse (or a kid) and crawling inside the carcus for warmth. And as far as a place to sit? I have sat on bumpers, trailer tounges, trailer fenders, coolers and even on my own jacket in the mud. I must have missed the sun drenched picnic blanket weekend. Maybe that was because if it wasn’t so cold that Walt Disney could be a judge at the show, it was so damn hot that the devil himself would only snicker as he passed by in an air conditioned chariot of fire. Who are we kidding, hockey AND horses will be the death of us! By the way, She Rides, We All Pay!
Great website, awesome articles, I’m a little hurt that the photo of the “BOY” in this article has no credits, sniffle sniffle, this is really stingin my stupid man pride. Fortunately I also have a long streak of the pride gene too, so a couple beers oughta make me forget it.
