Here are a few pluses.
You can be sure the on-site horse
show organizer will test the megaphone or sound system for static at full blast while you
are riding solo in the indoor arena or stretching out for an in-the-saddle snooze in the sun, just outside the barn.

The Mane Point is participating
again in the April A to Z blogging challenge, posting daily with alphabetical
entries.
For this year's A-Z event, a
month of posts will offer Turfy’s A-Z
Rules of Horsemanship, with all due apologies to the original Murphy of
Murphy’s Law, which basically said,
"If anything can go wrong, it probably will."
Horse lovers may have heard some
of these uncannily true, yet often ironic, statements in various forms in the
past. Or not.
