Training ride today

[Mateef@aol.com]

Perhaps it would help simplify this discussion by identifying the use of 
running martingales as the difference between a (part time training) aid and 
a (long term) crutch.  Running martingales, used judiciously do have their 
place in training. However, too often I see inexperienced riders see 
"professionals" use them and think they can achieve the same results.  
Educated hands make them a (part time training) aid and inexperience riders 
turn them into a (long term) crutch.
