Well, for someone like me, who was interested in merely peeking in the stall and saying hello, it was as if he were pretty much off limits, which I understood and suspected why, it's just too bad there's that kind of behavior at all.
I suppose the only way to stop that would be to stop all forms of competition since there will always be wack jobs that have to try and "level the playing field" so to speak.
I did not feel like going inside the drapes to go, uninvited, and there was noone visible outside to ask if I could, so I just left. I didn't know he was going to be out, or I would have stayed around, but then again, I'm lucky enough to have seen him here in the NW. I'm glad he's coming home to you, sure that makes you feel good.
The video cameras were a good idea, sounds like! I wondered about that when I saw some of the horses and thought about how competitive people get there at Worlds just with what I'd seen.
