[RC] [RC] Tevis question - Sherman

I'm of the opinion that "miles & miles of conditioning rides" are not the same as participating in sanctioned 100 mile endurance rides.
 
 
And I agree with that 100%, but Tevis does not require that the rider has participated in any 100 mile ride. What I'm not so sure about is that having done 3 50's makes a rider more qualified than someone who has been conditioning for a few years, even though that rider may not participate in sanctioned rides, whether out of family commitments on the weekend, or lack of transportation or "whatever". I know that the the intent is to make it a safer ride,  hopefully increase the completion rate, and do what's best for the horse.
 
Regarding the list being updated, my neighbor is shown as #31 on the waiting list and was told today that she's in, so if your before #31, you're in luck!
