Generally I think people care about their horses and want to do right by them. I, too, am a rules follower and will point out to the proper people if something is not done per the rules (including by myself).

I just can't even fathom how people can knowingly cheat or who won't own up to an honest mistake. I am honest to a fault and I like it that way because my conscience is clean. :) Great post!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-18985167637253868452014-10-23T16:41:25.849-07:002014-10-23T16:41:25.849-07:00Great post. and good for you for your honesty.

She never said a word about it and she placed - it annoyed me. I don't think it changed the placings but she didn't want people to look at the results and see the truth.

I remember one test I'd done shockingly well - too well, because the scorer had miscalculated my score. I went to the office and pointed out the error, and they recalculated. It dropped me from first to out of the ribbons, but whatever. It was the right thing to do. <br /><br />And you're right - everyone remembers a cheater. jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-44150751237735183332014-10-23T09:03:49.576-07:002014-10-23T09:03:49.576-07:00Agreed 100%Agreed 100%Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-33060503614521852212014-10-23T08:50:32.544-07:002014-10-23T08:50:32.544-07:00Good on you, dude.

I bawled, took her home, started rehab, etc. A couple weeks later, I was shocked to see that we'd gotten a completion in the official stats. Not gonna lie, it was a hard phone call to make, but I did call and make them change it. What's right is right.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.com
