Pretty legit that there are only 4 SEC Equestrian teams, and all 4 are in the Top 10.

Yes it is, and I agree that both UT and KY should get on board. All of this "club sponsorship" excuse by KY is no excuse at all IMHO.


It's actually embarrassing that neither UT nor UK are supporting equestrian. We have no excuse not to have outstanding programs - we have breeders, riders, shows, Western and English saddle based competitions, our own freaking horse breeds and races and vet schools specializing in the horses.

If the NCAA held whiskey and bourbon competitions and UT and UK didn't bother to field real teams it wouldn't be any more mind boggling than us not having real equestrian teams.

Could not agree more! Well put.

Why don't KY folks and y'all pressure your programs to add the sport and join us?

In the meantime ...

Do you know the way to USC? Burt Bacharach's daughter signs with Gamecocks

quote:

COLUMBIA, SC — The daughter of American composer and songwriter Burt Bacharach LINK is joining South Carolina's equestrian team.

Coach Boo Major said Thursday that Raleigh Bacharach signed a letter of intent to join the Gamecocks in 2014. Bacharach will ride with South Carolina's hunt seat team and will compete both over fences and on the flat.

Major says Bacharach is the Gamecocks first signee of the year from the west coast and is a talented rider. She attends Campbell Hall School in Los Angeles.

Bacharach's father, Burt, has won Academy Awards and Grammys for his five decades of work. LINK




quote:

Legendary singer Burt Bacharach LINK — who wrote the 1969 hit "What The World Needs Now" LINK and has more than 70 Top 40 hits to his credit — has a daughter, Raleigh Bacharach, who has just committed to joining the equestrian team at the University of South Carolina, The Associated Press reported. Burt is 85; his daughter is a senior at Campbell Hall, a private Episcopal school in Los Angeles. - See more at: https://www.free-times.com/blogs/bacharach-daughter-coming-to-university-of-south-carolina#sthash.JgLdh3Xi.dpuf

Sooo...there are 4 SEC Equestrian teams and they are all in the top 10. That is pretty solid.
The biggest about equestrian is that on the road you ride some frickin horse you've never ridden before...You have to ride the other teams horses. Like Imma jump a fence or ditch on some horse I don't know? frick that...

If they were just farm horses that are barely ridden then yeah it would be unnerving and possibly insane depending upon temperament but we're talking about trained horses with an even keel. Even a child who has only ridden a few times should be able to hop on one and complete an easy to moderate jump without worrying that horse will freak out. Horses at an equestrian event are not going to be so spirited or stubborn that their temperaments and lack of training pose a big risk and they certainly won't be so skittish they panic at seeing their own shadow.

SCAR would dominate bass fishing if it weren't for our club not wanting to give up all its sponsorships. Plus we're interracial and we just docked six new bass boats.
The kid on the far left was kicked off the team and out of the league. They caught him using a trotline and 12 fishing poles all at once.

Those chicks aren't all that good looking. You are trying to make this thread interesting. Total epic failure on your part.

It's clear that you'd much prefer slong slurping and taking it up the @$$ over adding anything constructive to a thread in which it would have behooved you (pardon the pun) to have just stayed the frick out of ... but fwiw, no one here cares what bores you outside of your normal routine of getting your rump bored you inconsiderate rude frick.

Using behooved is probably confusing to him for reasons other than a potential pun.

True

And there was something else I wanted to respond to in this thread ... oh yeah, about traveling, meets on the road, etc.

You can trailer your own rides if the away meet is close enough, but it is cost prohibitive and too time consuming to try to trailer them all over a few hundred miles.
