> Roger, if we're ever vying for 20th place you can have it.  I just don't see the point in racing.  What I do is endurance riding.  I'll never top ten unless all of the front runners make a humongous wrong turn and by fabulous good luck I end up in the front.  Even then I probably wouldn't know what to do with it.  This doesn't mean that I don't respect people who DO race, there are just lots more of us who go to finish and have fun with our horses.  NOT racing.
