Re: [RC] LD's and 50 garbage - heidiPlease 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. Lianne, I agree that anyone who puts down LD is blind. The rub in these internet discussions is that people like Jason CLAIM that LD riders are put down when they are not. I haven't seen one single post from anyone who thinks that the rules are good as they are who has "put down" LD. This is a matter of a few folks who seem to want to pick a fight trying to make an issue out of an imagined antagonism that simply isn't there 99% of the time.
