Re: [RC] Recipe for doing a 100 - heidiBut these days folks are less daring and want more instant gratification,than it seems way back when, and even with all the electrolytes, HRM's, Temp. Gauges, Super Crews and LQ's, Joint supplements, Dues to all the organizations, and fancy 'Endurance' saddles and matching biothane tack, and all these different shoeing jobs that cost almost a weeks salary for some, the #'s say you are backing down from Endurance Am I the only one who finds it ironic that we seemed to produce a lot more 100-mile horses WITHOUT all the lytes, gadgets, etc.? And horses that LASTED for years, to boot? Sometimes I think we gadget and gimmick ourselves to death. (But then I think on the whole, breeders were breeding horses more suitable to being ridden, period, a few decades ago, and the spinoff from that was much more available even 20 years ago.)

But then, if logic did prevail, men would ride sidesaddle. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
