[RC] LD's and 50 garbage - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Lianne dcantrall105@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

All I can say, is the person who puts down LD's is blind. LD's are building 
blocks for some. I know I would not want to run a Marathon if I hadn't run a 
1/2 Marathon before. There are new people who want to experience what endurance 
is all about. I think it would be stupid or funny to do a 50 if  you or the 
horse had never experienced an endurace ride before. I had a friend who did it. 
She was sucked into believing that you are a sissy if you do a LD. Boy was she 
sorry. Hee, Hee , Hee. I did the 25 for my first ride and enjoyed every minute 
of it. I still ride endurance, she does not.  There are people who do have 
disabilities who can ride LD's but can not go any further. There are some who 
ride LD's finish with an ejoyable day, sit down with their beer, and watch 
everyone else go back out , come back tired , hungry and wanting that chair and 
beer. To each his own. But I do believe LD's belong in our sport.
