I think I repeated that phrase a dozen times when everyone asked why we scratched at the show.

He’s just not quite 100%.

Nothing major but we’ve got nothing to prove, so why risk it?

Oh, he’s fine. We changed his shoes a bit and he’s just not his normal perfect self, and besides we’ve got nothing to prove.

Yeah….we’re ESTABLISHED at Intermediate, why risk a PRELIM…… we’ve got nothing to prove!

Right??

What TOTAL and COMPLETE

B. S.

Don’t we have EVERYTHING to prove??

Isn’t that WHY we compete to begin with?????

My outing on the Evil Twin ended with a number, a high one, but a number none the less.

But Bad Eventer is at least used to leaving with a little street credit.

Oh yeah, Bad Eventer fell off at jump 1.

Yep, Bad Eventer bit it at the trakehner – AGAIN.

Unh huh, Bad Eventer came off at jump 3 and then got dragged 50′ feet.

anti-climatic.

Where’s the Bad Eventer-ness in that??
