[RC] Gears (was tailgating) - Kristi Schaaf

And which is why it's too bad more endurance riders
aren't interested in what NATRC provides - a way to
create a fast walk and a relaxed trot, great manners,
and lots of LSD, all while learning how to handle the
chaos of a ride. Of course, many endurance riders know
how to do that on their own, but NATRC is a great way
for the rest of us to start a green horse and teach
him the basics of being a trustworthy, responsive
distance horse. I remember my first LD ride well; a
woman on a jigging headflipping lathered horse was
literally poking fun at me and my horse's 1,000 NATRC
miles (as we calmly walked down the trail alongside
her frenzied horse). I don't think she realized the
irony in her comments, but I sure did. Kristi (who
loves both sports) iluvdez at yahoo dot com
