    << Charles, I am failing to understand how this compares to endurance riding.
     Are these children in
     the low-age category racing the SAME distances and durations and runs as the
     adults?  Unless they
     are all doing the SAME THING, it just does not compare at all. >>
    
    To imply that every rider in a ride is doing "the same thing" is 
    disingenuous.  I will be introducing my girls to endurance riding over the 
    next year or so as they are begging and pleading to try it!  But I will not 
    be riding the same ride I would with them as me crew!  And they will not be 
    riding a hot horse dying to make it tot he front.  It will be a DIFFERENT 
    ride.  One suitable for their age and inexperience.  Sort of like the Bunny 
    Run on the slopes.......  :o)
