[RC] Elevator Rides yes bring them back... - Mary Ann Spencer
When I first started... a long time ago... it was a
good incentive to be able to elevate to the next higher ride...ie from 25 or 30
to 50. In the past when I was young, it was extremely difficult to get in
the riding time and many things were sacrificed... I still have those bad
habits...ie house cleaning.. BUT, one doesn't always know 'if' one can do a
fifty, where as a 25 is not so bad. Unfortunately, my energy level has a
tendency to give out, especially in the heat and humidity and after I became a
heat casualty. There are SO MANY variables in this sport that on any
one day, any one of them can do you in. Now a concern is whether I can
finish, not whether the horse can. Getting older is not for the faint of
heart.
