I love dogs but so many bend this rule. NO DOGS ALLOWED means just that!!! People still bring their dogs in the stands.
If it's sitting quietly in the stands with it's owners - how does this negatively affect your run? |

barrelracer1983 - 2016-05-19 5:48 PM Don't remind me. I know they make money off of them but Exhibitions??? Come on, get the show on the road. I may seem impatient but I get nervous and just like to get my runs done and over with. considering you have griped about 9 times on this post you dont seem to enjoy it much? lol.or maybe have one of your own?
and exhibitons.. well everyone has to start somewhere ...
not being mean ... just making a comment in general..
You have no idea. I don't need to explain everything. I still enjoy it but I've also had some bad experiences. The OP asked about pet peeves and I answered :) |

Because other people see dogs in the arena, so they think they can bring THEIR dogs in the arena.

This reminds me of a time where a lady brought her dog into the stands at an indoor show. Sweet dog but once the girls started and ran their horses hard it barked and went crazy! She finally took her dog back to her truck (I'm guessing) from being embarrassed from the barking and a lady asking her to leave her dog outside. |

As someone who's been chased by a dog during a run and had to rerun, rules are rules for a reason. |

Location: on my horse | There's a couple places around here that I just plain won't go to right now, and its because of the warm up situation. I added another one to my list tonight, very small warm up area surrounded by goat pens (scary!) that the alley dumps directly out into, parking lot is large rocks so no real way to even slowly trot safely out there. I actually really like the arena itself but my girl is still at a place where I need to be able to warm her up decently and sharing a small round pen sized space with 40 other gals is not our speed at the moment.
Another local place has you warm up underneath the RV shelter in a large parking strip, the parking strip is dirt surrounded by concrete and it's all under this giant car port like thing. I am not a fan of that for my girl, but my gelding is seasoned enough he does just fine in the above described situations and worse.
I'm extremely thankful for every run I get to make and the producers who put on awesome shows that always start on time, and finish the time only slots after! |

IMO there are always people that feel the rules do not apply to them. I agree, if the rul states NO DOGS, then don't bring your dog! Simple as that. |

| Reading all the pet peeves, I consider myself lucky, I guess.
I love that our jackpots have timed onlies (one go through or one min in the arena) before the jackpot.
I love that the exhibitions are at the end of the jackpot (timed run no chance of winning anything)
Both of these give me the chance to work my colts.
Yes warm up areas can be crammed, hence why I try to show up early when there are less people to worry about.
As for the comment about fast on the outside, slow on the inside, I was in 4h and they actually taught you could only pass on the inside due to safety, therefore fast is to the inside. Again I like that I can lope circles in the middle, I like that I can walk my young horse all the way around the outside so they gain confiendce.
Things I don't like
People who complain, yes there are valid reasons to complain, such as starting late (but I have had people enter 10 min from the end, if there is no cutoff you have to let them enter) I also have done draws and it isnt easy especially if there are people with multiple horses and only 30 girls, it is difficult to get them spaced out enough.
I dont like when people complain about late fees, high entry fees. If you dont like the rules, dont go, plain and simple.
Also if you dont like how a jackpot is run, put on your own with the rules you want.
I do appreciate every person who puts on jackpots, it is a time consuming, thankless job.
Myself I am just happy to be able to enter a jackpot and not have to put it on. |

Location: Missouri | people who gripe and complain at a show about how it is run or that it takes to long but yet you sit and do nothing to help! Or you go on FB and complain about something that may have happened to them but did not talk to show producer about the issue.
Most people who complain have never tried to put on a show. Next time maybe offer to help out. |

| When you're at a pro rodeo waiting for the person in front of you to get out of the alley after their run and the judge tells you to "hurry up"! That's happened to me twice!!
