Rules and guidelines, we must take the time to read them and follow them. Sometimes the judges and stewards can miss them and it's great to have your trainer in your corner when that happens.

It is vital to follow the rules in sport for the following reasons:

•To maintain the safety of all people involved in the activity.
•To allow the activity to be fair
•To ensure the game is played the same regardless of location
•To enable the performers to understand how the game is to be played or activity is to be carried out.

When most people would rather shy away from an uncomfortable situation and not speak up, I so very much appreciate Stephanie who was not afraid to point out two instances that were not in compliance with the rules set in 2012 LEG Anniversary Hunter Derby Series.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Stephanie!
