Re: RC: RE: $20 Fee for National Championship Ride

Kathy,
When the NC was a series of rides, the qualifications were tougher. I think 
you had to have 200 miles on that horse in that year (prior to the series), 
plus a certain placement in your weight division (I think). The rides were 
poorly attended, and one of the reasons given was that the qualifications 
were too tough.
What's this deal about the heavyweight & middleweight being easy to win? 
Tell that to the ones that didn't complete the ride!

Title: RE: RC: RE: $20 Fee for National Championship Ride

I wasn’t an AERC member when they first start talking about the NC.  All I know is that I was incredibly surprised that I qualified to compete in it with only 200 miles.  I suppose if I really felt that the Championship was really a Championship, I would give a lot more support to the concept.

I’ve argued this on another list untjl I was blue in the face, and I really don’t want to get into it further than I’ve already dug a whole into, but that’s where I stand on the NC.  I’m glad everyone had a good time at the ride, but I have fun at every ride whether it’s the NC or not.  To me, it’s just another ride that I didn’t go to.  I was definitely more excited about Pan Am and Tevis results this year.  Like someone just told me who competed at the NC, whoever didn’t have a rock or a root with their horse’s name on it wins.  And you have even a greater chance of winning if you are a heavyweight or middleweight. (But don’t get me wrong – it’s not competing in the weight classes that really bugs me.)

I hope that the NC will continue, but in a format that excites everyone, not just a few very vocal, local folks.

K.
