We're having the same discussion on the IHSGB list in the UK, with some interesting comments. Some people can see the problem, others really can't and are getting pretty upset.
Anyway, a friend came up with an interesting suggestion: > Did you see any of the European 3 day eventing ? They've now introduced a > system where a certain colour flag (i can't remember what colour it was now) > is waved to show a rider that the judges are concerned about his/her riding & > to buck up thier ideas. I think thats a good idea :-) I think this is a brilliant idea - not quite so harsh as carding, but it does let people (riders and spectators) know that judges are not happy.
