Because we have become comfortable with a festival "anything goes standard", I think we should review the new, first time in the circus standard. These are black horse's or ponies, which ever you think is appropriate. You can no longer call then Cass Ole or Tornado. If it will sell ticket's you can say they are from the private stable of Don Diego. Unless somebody says, "wasn't Don Diego Zorro?" In which case you will have to stop and maybe tell them it the black horse from the movies not television. If somebody says, "wasn't he bigger then that?" Again you will have to stop. If this standard is not adhered to, you may face suspension/fine. So it might be easier to just cut the crap, as John Herriott advised in the setting of the standard and call them black horse's or ponies, which ever you think is appropriate.

The STANDARD--Be familiar with it. I didn't know, will not be accepted as an excuse.

the black horse from zorro is a friesen. i used to ride him and he's really lazy but kind of brave.
is that standard in a friesen?
Rambly,
We are going to give you a warning, before fining you. All three of those are black horses or black ponies. It doesn't matter. Read the standard explanation slowly. That was the point. You could any of them were from Don Diegos stable, until somebody asked isn't Don Diego Zorro? Which would mean the gig was up because if you knew Don Diego was Zorro, you probably knew his horse was Friesian. And the standard has been set at black. The first ever Circus Standard was set this afternoon, by John Herriott with no crap, during the POA discussion.

with all well-due respect to yourself and mr. herriot, i came to my own decision that trudy's horses were Cobs of America....
They look black to me....LOL....
Rambly,
Could you tell us about the Cob of America registry? Were you referring to the Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America? I don't think they qualify. Or the Gypsy Cob Society of America? No, they aren't what they are looking for.
Why not the Dalmation Horse of America?
Rambly, I think you were in the circus longer then you admit. You are very proficient at setting what has become known as a minestandard. LOL

dear wade, i was not on the circus nearly long enough, and when i go into the great hereafter, i can only hope that i find my way by following the arrows.
however, regarding the quality of animals, i find much greater importance in the heart and health of an animal, and less in the conformation. yes, a show animal should be beautiful, and uplift the spirit of those engaged in the experience. but i believe what is truly inspiring, both to animal people and the layman is the connection between the animal and the handler. therein lies the magic.
Casey,
With respect to everybody involved, if we were setting a "nut job" standard, Welfarist/Radical, what would the guidelines be if every body loved animals equally now that we have all weighed in our thoughts:

Ian,
I have been "reading up" on this broad for the last two days. Though it is a noble to donate her "hard" earned funds to the cause. Most of her antics have been done "post fame" kinda as a last ditch effort at staying in the spotlight. Her morals and beliefs become relevant the minute she started questioning others.ie the way Muslims kill their dinner, or how natives kill seals (lets keep in mind the seal died, and only died once) As far as the "patch" remark, I am gonna let it drop, I don't hunt seals or sheep. I wanted to think she was not a "nut job" Ian, but now I am most certain she is.....
