Merryben,
I sorry, you felt had to post PARTS of my e-mail
to you here on ridecamp. A personal reply would of been more
polite.
If you would of forwarded the whole e-mail
everyone would of seen I in no way shape of form said you didn't care about
kids.I even said it was great that some kids had done it, they most likley
have more miles then I ever will! Just that I believe a age rule is in order for
endurance rides. I said you didn't care about my views on this or for that
part anyone else whom disagrees with you, not that you didn't care about kids.
But you were in such a hurry to yell at me, I have to wonder
if you really did read it.
The e-mail I sent to you was off
list as some had asked nicely to take it off list. I said in the e-mail, I
myself believe kids should ride ...
Indeed my 5 daughters now 26 -10, did at 4 and 5
only not on distance rides, or as far as that goes with any other horses but
mine. I even put my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter on for a ride
around the yard last weekend! Every distance ride I've been on I've had Jr
with , only they were 9 or older. I just think a child younger then say 9 or 8,
should not be riding endurance, LDs fine just not 23+ hours in the
saddle.
Please if you want to forward a post of mine do
so in full not just little parts. I gave you facts and my
views, you only posted my views and twisted them at that.
That's,really not very
polite.
