Hello, Karen sent me a most interesting website that i
looked into and responded to that tho different from the AERC current
points, mileages and placing is the reason i got into Endurance. The
people here are going thru Life Changing Long Distance Rides thruout the world
now and they list stories that tell the History of this endeavor.
CuChullaine O'Reilly has accumulated 400 pages on this site and its the most
comphrehensive site on the web devoted to Long Distance Horse Riding. They
do not share the love for competition... but LONG Rides. It appears that
within the world, the USA does not have an adequate Grid System of Trail that
Long Riders can Traverse. I think it important to change that and i told
him that i would be interested because this group of people could have really
assisted us on our V2B ride that was cancelled due to 119. CuChullaine' e-mail
is: equestrianexplorer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
his websites are: www.longridersguild.comhistory_of_equestrian_travelhtm and
another is:
www.horsetravelbooks.com.. We all
share this love of the horse and the freedom of the trail and we need to get it
together. Australia, Canada and Poland do have this grid but unfortunately
the USA does not. Check out his websites and better yet contact him and
offer your support. tom sites
