RE: [RC] AERC Endurance Riders Handbook updated and online - Linda Cowles


The AERC Endurance Riders Handbook ...  http://www.aerc.org/

I haven't taken the time to read the whole handbook, but after a quick
browse -- this looks very good. Thanks to all of you who worked to complete
the update!

BTW, I have had NINE new horse owner customers in the past few months. These
folks are women in their mid 40's to 50's who are buying their FIRST horse.
All of them want to get into "Trail riding for hours" and 4 mentioned "those
really long trail races - that endurance riding stuff".

These folks are **really** beginners. I went to a stable in Potter Valley to
fit a saddle and show the new owner how to tack up her horse (baby steps)
and was delighted to find a that a rider I knew from NATRC in the Bay Area,
Angie, had purchased the stable and was going to board and give lessons. We
really need her!

Is anyone else seeing a rise in the number of middle aged women getting into
horses for the first time?

Again, great job on the updates! Is there any talk of publishing the
Handbook in soft back? I know it would sell!
