[RC] I'd like y'alls opinions -Mom and I have been tossing around an idea and we wanted to see what people thought about it. We would like to put on a ride next year that is strictly limited distance. What we want to do is to have a two day ride with a 30 or 35 miler on sat. and a 25 miler on sun. Additionally, we would like to have a clinic for 1st time riders during the 30/35 miler. They could watch how everything was done by the 30/35 riders (who we would like to all have completed at least one ride). They can observe and maybe even help at the vet check. The after the 30/35's have finished we would like to have them do a 10 mile loop to learn how to pace and read their horse over different terrain. They would have a mock vet check at the end of the loop and be critiqued by the vet. They would have an opportunity ask questions and learn from the vets and other riders. Then on sun. have a normal 25 mile ride where they can put everything they learned the day before into practice. People that want to see if their horses can go a little further than 25 can do th e 30/35. People that want to do a two day ride can do that, and newbies get the whole weekend to learn and get hooked on the sport. I should mention that the reason we don't want to do a 50 is that there is a limited amount of trail. Well, what do y'all think. (Sorry about the drawl, I'm in hick mode) We don't even know if it would be possible to do, it's just an idea we had. Thoughts?
