But is NATRC thriving or just CTR in general? I ask b/c i know people in 
the midwest who have no interest in NATRC, but love CTR. I'm flexible. I 
will do any sport where I can get out and ride my horse. I'm going to try 
my first endurance ride this spring.

In fact, I have a question about this...

If you have a horse that's used to doing 40+ miles in a w/e under NATRC 
rules, how hard would it be for the horse and rider to complete a 50. I'm 
not talking win or compete, just complete. Or, is it better to start with a 
25? A couple of us are thinking about the Frigid Digit in Decatur and one 
thinks she'll just do the 50. The rest of us think we just want to do a 
25.  what are the pitfalls for either? Again, just to complete in time 
allowed.  also, how old are most of the kids trying this? My daughter wants 
to try a ride, but I'm not sure that she can do 25, or that her pony won't 
drop dead :-)
