EDITORS COLUMN
The following article came to us
from a reader who thought we
might be interested in a short talk
on “sportsmanship” that was de
livered some time last year to the
Capital City Horsemen Association
of Raleigh, North Carolina.
SPORTSMANSHIP
I have been asked to do some
thing tonight which any one of us
could do. We all know a lot about
the topic, therefore, please don’t
get the idea I’m an expert. I am
going to listen to myself harder
than any of you will be listening
to me and I hope I’m wise enough
to heed my words. Even tho’ we all
know the subject, let’s look at what
Webster says - “Sportsman,” one
who in sports cheerfully abides by
the rules and chances of the game
and is a good loser and a courteous
winner. “Sportsmanship” —- con

much for what we are talking
about. Now for the application —
you know when we go into that
horse show ring we put a lot of
things on display for the whole
world to see — 1) a good-looking
well-trained horse; 2) Proper tack;
3) goodlooking riding habits; 4) our
riding ability; 5) and our Character.
We all love our horses; but really
does it make much difference if
we take a blue or not even place?
The horse is the one being judged
and I really believe it doesn’t make
too much difference to him. As for
the proper tack and good-looking
riding clothes — they’re nice and
will probably get two words in
passing from the audience and be
forgotten; riding ability, somewhat
the same; but CHARACTER, be
lieve me, everyone watching you
will judge you on this score and
will keep that judgement in the
back of his mind forever. What
makes character in the ring? One
simple thing — “sportsmanship.” I
think all of us know how to dis
play character and sportsmanship
around a horse show but let’s take
30 seconds and review. Be consider
ate of the other person's property;
use trash buckets etc.; park your
trailer or van where you should; be
on time; get your horse to the
gate when your event is next; show
