 Everyone enters by weight class and has to weigh in with their saddle and pad, 100 lbs. and under---100 lbs. to 150 lbs.--150lbs. to 200 lbs and 200lbs and over. Have weigh ins like my old wrestling days---could be the wave of the future by the latest posts on here. LOL

Over my dead body would I get on a scale and give the public a range of what I could possibly weigh.

While we are at it, why don't we just ask the government to supervise our sandbox? Quitcher*****in people.

 I want to know when everything in life got about being fair. Next qualifications could be that you only have to compete against horses in the same price range as yours so those of use with $5000 horses don't have to run against $50,000 horses. And then maybe those that can afford trainers should have a class seporate from those who train their own.....NOTHING in life is fair so I don't get why so many make such a big deal about wanting a fair chance against their competition. Nobody is forcing anyone else to compete, so if you don't like the playing field & rules....stay home.

Oh i know it! It's just crazy to me though....I don't get why people want rules & regulations on everything. Why can't things just be what they are & people actually have fun instead of whining about everything?

 I really don't know what the deal is about stepping on the scales in public. It's not like you can hide part of yourself and keep it a secret. 

How do they handle weight on the race track? Do they level the playing field there in regards to weight?

If the race is a handicap, they add weight to the saddle pad.

Jock's weigh in before and after a race...  Unless you have a crooked clerk of scales and falsifies the weight of some of the jocks.

HAHA! 

That is exactly what I wrote on the other board, thank goodness it is a family horse or someone would be griping that not only is she small, but her family bought their way to the top! 

GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE!

And guess what, even with those $50,000 plus horses there would STILL be people in the 4d!

Also..... Does that mean we can have barrel races by horses size?  My 1D cutting bred horse is a pony, so it isn't fair I have to run her against track horses is it?!?!?!  LOL!

OH WOW---this is great. We could have a miltitude of combinations---kind of like a Conditions Book when you are entering at the racetrack. Horse has to be under 15 hands with a rider 100 lbs to 150 lbs or another one where the horse can be 15-2 and the jockey under 100lbs---the combinations could be endless. Heck, I may even write a race for a 15-4 hand horse.
