Suggestions for making distance riding more visible in your community...
contact your county's 4-H office and ask to have ride flyers or info sent
to leaders or put in the newsletter.
Contact your local paper and request that they write a little article about
a local ride or rider even. 
Start a local club (I know this one is easier said than done...been there,
done that. Lots of people willing...willing to let YOU do all the work!). 
Any more ideas out there???  Thought this might get something rolling...
