[RC] OD-Calvary - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

Someone posted earlier today about the OD ride having a calvary
division.  It used to be much more common for that about 16 years
ago.  In fact, the ROC that I did, had riders in that division.
Most of the 100 mile rides (here in the SE) had this division. I
always wanted to do one, but never got around to it.  It seemed
like the next step, after doing 100's, multi days, etc.  I wish
we could see a return to it, I would love to try one now.  It 
certainly takes a special kind of horse to try it on.  I think
that Rose could do it, I would just need to pack all my drugs
with me.  :)

PS.  I think I am getting the hang of this RC posting.  ;)

============================================================
The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable,
while keeping one's horse fit to continue.  Taking the clock out of the
equation makes it another sport altogether.  The challenge is how to keep
the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those
in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that
we don't cross it.
