Dressage and history
Junior Trainer approached Senior Trainer with what seemed to be a delicate matter to him .
He told Senior Trainer “I have read somewhere (let’s be clear, reading is not Junior most regular occupation ) that the first known written manual of horse training was written BC and many years after AD it is still relevant , what does this BC and AD mean ? “
“Well “ Senior Trainer replied “Many, Many, Many years ago”
“you mean in the days of Jennie Loriston - Clark “Junior interrupted.
“NNO! No! much before that” Senior Trainer continued.
But Junior interrupted him again “ What?? there was before that ??”
“SHUT UP and listen “Senior Trainer raised his voice to the level that most equine and humans find very intimidating and proceeded in his explanation , “BC means Before , beeeefffore , bbbbbeeeffffooore” and then he mumbled to himself “for f,,,,k sake how do I explain to this intellectual moron about world history in a way that it will make sense to him” and then he smiled and continued “ BC and AD are expressions defining the two most significant periods in human history “ and before Senior Trainer had a chance to continue with his explanation ,Junior Trainer interrupted him again and shouted “ GOT IT !!! it means Before Carl and After Dujardin”.
