Re: [RC] [RC] Prizes - terry banister

Yes, I look at them as "ride mementos" and not prizes. I think that if someone paid their fees, showed up for the ride and participated in any way, they should still get their "been there" token. To me, the completion "award" is gaining the sanctioned mileage and points. And my whole wardrobe, including a few pairs of riding pants comes from Thrift Stores :-}

I still prefer what it is that BH100, Tevis, The Duck's Soup of Endurance,
etc. has to offer...but, to see a horse canter over sand for those
distances...Good Lord, it humbles me.
