Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with this statement!

David, I was simply using myself as an example since I can speak for no one
else. I would really resent having to do a year of LD's (and teach my horse
all sorts of bad habits) since me and my horse can gain the necessary
experience in another distance riding format.

There are a lot of ways to ride, lots of ways to train. I'm grateful that LD
is available -- particularly since I will be using the format in the coming
years -- and I have no regrets for the ones I did on this horse, but I don't
think I'll be using the format to start another horse.

I just hate to see people forced into anything when, like Bob says, the info
is out there, people just have to absorb it.
