[RC] complaints-Ridemgr Apology - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Voodoo rides2much@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Ride managers are allowed to complain about anything they want, even if the problems are= of their own making. They are allowed to gossip about you behind= your back. They can spew all over the internet about riders= whining & not taking care of their horses. But riders are not= allowed to say anything about the Ride managers. Got it. Oh my god.... As a ride manager of 15+ years this generalized statement makes me want to pull all of my currently sanctioned events and never manage a ride again! Thank you! Mollie Krumlaw-Smith ****************** Mollie & all the other great Ride managers out there I sincerely apologize. It was totally unfair of me to generalize all of you into a statement that I really only felt about one person. In the 20 or so years I have attended Endurance rides I have seen many ride managers give their blood, sweat & tears. I have witnessed them handle the worst of situations with grace and great restraint. California/PS is a great place to ride, & despite my issues with Lynne, I really do appricated what you guys give! ===========================================================There must be a full understanding between the horse and rider for entry into the top competition brackets. There must be a confidence established that the desired position is attainable. There must be a caring for the horse, on the part of the owner, so as to not exceed the physical limits in the heat of competition. There must be a well planned training program that will result in the necessary equine attributes. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
