<<About
the Malabu incident, instead of BC awards (and similar awards to 100 mile
rides) for LD rides, could we not have positive reinforcement such as
"sportsmanlike awards". I'm just thinking out loud here, but
could criteria not be based on their behaviour on the trail (those who behave
extremely well, also get noticed), their behaviour at vet checks, and overall
sportsmanship. Surely the vets, ride managers, and ride workers are well
aware of the 'good guys' on the trail. This award is not at all speed
related, but simply takes notice of courtesy, horsemanship, and fellowship.
What about an
Annual year end award for top Junior 'Sponsor'. Somebody who goes out of
their way to really teach our juniors how to do it right. You know the
person who you would love to have your children ride with if you can't.
Maybe some of you who feel you can no longer compete in 100's and have dropped
down to shorter mileages, can take on a junior?>>
Denice,
I think
those are great ideas. At a recent
CTR ride, there was an award chosen by the P&R people for the person they
saw smiling and having a great time out there. I thought it was a great idea. I think it would be good to stress the fun and learning
factor of LD’s. I think the sponsor
award would be a good one too.
