    [RC] Floyd - Cindy Collins


    "As I was quite unfamiliar with Floyd and 160 km was also unfamiliar
    territory for me; I rode Floyd with the owner's direction and advice with
    regard to pace, given to me at all crew points all along the way in the
    competition."...
    
    To me this says it all.  I blame whoever allows inexperienced horses and
    riders to compete at this level!  It's also the reason I've been so
    adamant about raising the requirements on our national championship.  Yes,
    I have gotten on horses I've never ridden before and done 100 milers. 
    HOWEVER, I was an experienced 100 mile rider and the horse was an
    experienced 100 mile horse.  And, any owner I ever rode for told me to
    rely on my experience to set the pace for the horse that day.  Cindy
    Collins, AERC # 176
