Re: [RC] elevator rides - Barbara McCrary

Good idea, Heidi, about elevating up from a LD ride.  I agree that some LD
riders do the lesser distance because they're not sure either they or the
horse can handle 50, but given the option, when they find out how good their
horse still feels, they might go on to 50.  As for the 75/100 thing, we
offer that combination, and the 75 draws twice as many riders as the 100.  I
don't feel that the 75 ends up with too few, only the 100.

I would love to see more elevator rides.  I'm just ready to consider the
possibility of a 75 with maybe 100's in a couple years, but either
having more 75's and elevators to 75 and 100 would help my mental
concerns a lot.  The nearest elevator to me is held early spring and
we're just getting close to getting back to 50's after our winter (CO)
at that point.  So here's my vote for more elevators!  If I can work
things out to put on a ride near me, I will definitely consider that as
well.


I DO think that having more 75s is a big help.  It is nice to have a
"step" between 50 and 100 when one is trying to get geared up for 100s.
But too often if 75s and 100s are offered at the same event, both end up
with too few entries.  Hard to strike a balance there....
