Susan Young Casey said "There was a time when more people wanted to ride
longer distances; now, our attitude is "that's too hard".

That is what I hear expressed about 100 miles in my area and we have 3 great 
rides (VC 100, Washoe 100 and Tevis,) and this year four (Red Rock 100)plus 
the NC 100.

I did my first 100 last fall (VC 100) and am suprised at how many folks ask 
me if I would do another one!  The answer is YES! and since my mare will be 
doing her first endurance season year this year and won't be doing any 100's 
for a while, I'm trying to finagle a horse for the Red Rock 100.  Got a good 
prospect too..

At any rate, the "it's to hard" sentiment goes along with the "scared to try 
one" sentiment.  When I became interested in endurance riding, it was the 
challenge that interested me then, interests me now, and the ultimate 
challenge in endurnace for me is 100 miles.

Glad the folks who put on the Red Rocks ride have decided to put on a 100 
mile as I rode the 50 mi two years ago and the area is terrifc.  Hope to see 
lots of support for the 100 mi distance at this ride.

Happy Trails,
