Lynne:

We are on exactly the same wavelength here, I just put it poorly on
ridecamp.  I think we both got a little sidetracked by the racing
discussion!  I agree & support your efforts to look at the whole picture.
That is the only way I will ever get BC, because I am too chicken to race my
horse!  I've been trained to ride by Marci Cunningham, who I admire very
much.  She thinks you should have the same horse for many years, and I
agree.  There are some spectacular horses that can race and not break down,
but my horse is not one of those.  If I want to keep riding him, I have to
take good care of him.
