[RC] LQ trailes and the decline of point-to point rides - Teresa Van Hove

Ahhh, Finally we've got the real reason that point-to-point multidays declined. Folks started getting LQ trailers instead of tenting or buying old, relatively check p/u campers and stock-sized b/p trailers that any competent ranch kid could pull and didn't cost as much as a modest house. Now they have 'houses on wheels' + super sized rigs to pull them and they dont want to drive that thing many miles over back roads between ride points, or sure dont want to trust someone else to drive it for them. Who woulda thunk endurance riders having more money would hurt rides? Well I guess it helps some rides that are more LQ and motorhome friendly, it just hurts the more 'pioneering style' ridess

I'd really like to be able to try something like the big XP ride this year,
and was thinking that there might be others. Finding a driver for something
like this would be a nightmare. I agree 110% that there is no way I'm going
to let some kid drive something that weighs about 10 tons before you add
horses. It's too big, doesn't have much ground clearance, not to mention
what it is worth. Even with a normal sized rig, I'd have to trust someone a
lot to haul one of my horses.
