You don't like LDer's, you don't respect them, but, you think cause you have 7,000 miles you have the right to tell them how to ride, what to do during the ride, and, you want to make up their rules in their sport which you want nothing to do with. We like LD'ers, we respect them, we helped develop the LD program, and we believe we have a right to protect the horses they ride in LD rides by applying the knowledge we've gained with experience, yes. This is part of the problem. This distance and, the rules governing it, should be developed by those who want to do it and care about it. Not by those who think as you obviously do. "This distance," and the rules governing it, must be developed by people who know what the hell they're doing. Sorry, I didn't bother to check your illustrious ride record before my post. Doesn't matter; wouldn't change a thing to my response. Your post sucks and I don't care who you are (or think you are). Did you really want to admit that you don't respect the knowledge of people who have actually been doing this (with great success) for some time? If Tiger Woods told you what was wrong with your golf swing, would you tell him his advice sucks because you thought your swing was better than his? When I read your initial post I really felt like I was listening to some sort of racist talking about their superiority over another group. You putting out my ride record, to try an prove you think you're better than me, kind of re-enforces that idea. But ... Howard ... Cindy *IS* better than you are!

It is this possibility, this chance to come to the fore, that makes endurance competition of the Aussie/American type so much more desirable to part of the world. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
