Re: [RC] Decline of entries in 100 milers - Susan Young Casey--- "Maureen A. Fager" <trottin27@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: At any rate, the "it's to hard" sentiment goes along with the "scared to try one" sentiment. You're right there. In this age of litigation, folks are too scared to take on a newbie...especially if said newbie is a junior. And, on a different take, older riders just getting into endurance CAN be too intemidated to try the 100. I don't know...so many variables. Since the entry rate is so low, it can be more advantagious, points wise, to do a 2-day 50 with a full entry than a one-day 100 with less than 4 entries. You'd stand to get as many points on the 2-day as the 1-day. I still enjoy the challenge. I don't know if I have a 100 mile horse. I know I DON'T have a 100 mile crew! LOL! My Dad may "just say NO" and my poor husband may say, "bye!" But, come June, I'll find out if my super horse, Charlie Brown, is a 100 mile horse. Someone has already aske, "How do you know if you have a 100 mile horse?" I guess you just gotta try it. ===== Susan Young Casey, Princess of Pink, LIW, RRHA, RHS Semper Obliquo (Always aside) Glenndale Grace Farm, Ft Gibson, Oklahoma U.S.A. "Ride on!
