Just to clarify how I have proof that Dressage Queens don't like to listen. Here's the proof. At the 2008 Olympics, we got GREAT TV coverage from a channel I receive. Hours and hours of dressage. Boring, deadly, for most. I even got tired of it after a few hours. BUT, here's the deal. The commentating was done by an FEI Dressage Judge, named Cara Whitham. The Dressage Forum I used to visit groaned and moaned that Cara talked too much. I caught all kinds of hell from the DQ's when I said "Um, you're NOT interested in a Judge's opinion? You don't think it was a great learning experience?"
Nope, they were not interested, and no, they wouldn't learn anything.. They'd rather watch, and not learn, because.. They already know it all! Yeah, right.
I was totally fascinated, watching the greats, and listening to Cara's extremely learned opinion. The DQ's got positively huffy with me. Oh, well. Wouldn't you be interested in the opinion of someone well-known, and well-respected in their field??
Ok, I'll shaddup now. (Deep sigh of relief from the DQ's)
