If I were a really smart person, I wouldn’t have this job. I’d be running Microsoft or selling feed supplements in pre-measured shrink- wrapped containers.
That’s why I sometimes miss local riders in event summaries.
If Rider A finishes ahead of Rider B, and I report Rider B and neglect Rider A entirely, it’s because I’m stupid. Let me assure you, there is no “political agenda” at work here.
Horse people, I need your help.
The Hoofbeats page is the community bulletin board, not just Youngs Road news. I want Western, Walking Horses, Open Shows, Terrier Trials, 4-H, Pony Club, and Aunt Betsy’s Bake Sale stuff.
Send me results, rumors, gossip, hearsay, jokes and spam.
Want to vent? Write a column. Be my guest. This is your paper, your page every Sunday. I’m just the enabler.
Please don’t blame me if your news is not reported. The weather is great and I would rather be out riding and playing at the barn than on the phone trying to drum up copy. My e-mail is smithson@pinehurst.net. My phone is 692-1788.
Bring it on! Let me hear from you!
