equestrian
There are a fair number of equestrian events that really aren't subjective. My daughter is a horse nut, so I've seen a lot of equestrian.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

The one I saw the other night didn't seem to be -- you lost points if you knocked over a gate, landed in the water, or went over time. I didn't see any style or form points.
And it was GRIPPING! I could have watched for hours.

I'm reading through the December 1963 issue of Vogue and I'm dying over some of the ads, both for the products advertised and the copy used.

My mother had one of those.

Of the three equestrian events: dressage and the dressage phase of eventing are the only subjective tests. Cross Country and show jumping are purely based on getting over obstacles cleanly within the time allowed.

I love the horses in events-- they seem, I don't know... so much more real than racing thoroughbreds. I love that these horses aren't considered in their prime until they're in their teens.

Thoroughbreds muscle up nicely by the age of 10. So even the thoroughbreds seem more substantial than the racehorses. Of course, some of the dressage horses look like they could actually carry a knight in armor. (The Brazilian rider's Lusitano for example.)

Does anybody race, um, grown-up horses?
