The article is fine. I think the programs themselves left a wee bit to be desired. I felt the narrator spoke to the listening audience in a very condescending tone. AND the music was awful and very repititious.
I felt too much emphasis was on the Shetland Liberty Class — aren’t they supposed to do more than just run around the arena in a circle?
The Mini show did a much better job of showing the versatility of the mini. I also appreciated the fact that people of all ages where showing their minis. A better job of actually announcing the names of some of the winning horses. I was most impressed by the versatility class. Now that was pretty cool. There is a whole lot more to these little guys than trying to look like little Arabians.
Would I run out and buy a Shetland or a Mini and get involved in all this after watching either show??? Hard to tell. I definitely think that if ASPC/AMHR decides to do another one of these they need to rething the production company they used and get a new narrator.
Oh, I DO HAVE three wonderful minis that will be with me until I die (and they WILL live that long). I also have a 37 year old Thoroughbred who I still ride.
