    RE: [RC] Youth - CMNewell



    Riding endurance brings out the kid in me... I love to ride endurance (though haven't this year, unfortunately) and while I ride a top-ten caliber horse, it's not about competing at all.... I've reached lunch in 8th place and goofed off for 90 minutes.

    So, maybe children riding endurance isn't about competing... maybe kids do it because they love it, and love it because it's about adventure and challenge, riding new trails, getting to travel and camp with their horse and family, enjoying membership in a nomadic band of folks...

    The point I was making was specifically addressing the folks who seem to think that there is no middle ground--either the small child is doing endurance rides or it is sitting in front of the video screen with a pile of junk food.
