RE: [RC] LD to receive same recognition? - Margie Burton
And
here I've just been feeling blessed to be able to afford a horse and trailer and
have friends to ride with - little loops or big, 25 miles or 100.
Actually, where I live (in the city) there is only one park with horse trails
and those total all of 10 miles. And I am incredibly thankful for each and
every one of those.
Margie

Don't water down the sport.
Good on you,
Deanna. With the "rider friendly" loop rides now being
conducted as "endurance" rides (yes, I know about the disappearing land
available, etc.), the only thing left after the "watering down" takes
place will be one big hamster wheel, big enough for a horse and rider to jump
on and get off once the appropriate mileage has been
met. "Watering down" seems to be what alot of folks
want/need these days. It seems alot of folks barely have
time to ride a fifty or hundred, take a few minutes, throw the horse and
everything else back into the trailer and race home, where, I believe the sky
must be falling or the coffee pot was left on. You're in
luck, Becky just came by and thumped me on the back of my head...gotta
go. ----Frank
