[RC] Emphasizing BC - Sunnyland Arabians-L. Stewart and K. Weickhardt
From: <heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re:
[RC] LD Best Condition > But this award should be for Limited
Distance Horses and Riders. Lari, I like your way of doing BC. But what
keeps you from still doing that, even if an AERC BC is awarded so that the LD
riders in your region can also be in competition for a national award? Why
does it always have to be one or the other? The two concepts ARE NOT
mutually exclusive.>
Horses from our breeding program do
endurance. We provide the cheering section, rather than the riders
(so far:) My perspective is from observing and supporting
the sport. Recognition of BC should be elevated, I believe, across
the board. That would be good for the horses- another way to promote and
emphasize horse health and care. It would be good for the riders- to
reward efforts that result in a well-conditioned, well-managed team. It
would be good for the sport as it continues to self-assess and improve in the
wake of disastrous, eye-opening
trends.
