[RC] 100 mile volunteering - Kathy Ramspott

Truman,
If there are under 10 riders though how many volunteers are really needed? I'd love to volunteer at a 100 but the one time I volunteered at a ride, Biltmore many years ago, there were SO many volunteers I really felt that I was not needed. Granted driving from Atlanta to Asheville without a trailer isn't at all bad but I still felt that they didn't need me. It was great that I learned quite a bit since I was just thinking about endurance and everyone Was terrific.


As a complete side note: I picked up the magazine United Kingdom Horse and Rider and I saw an ad for Baileys All-Around ENDURANCE mix. I just thought it was great to see a specialty feed for Endurance horses, even if it is in the UK.

If people want 100's go ride them - increase the demand. If you aren't ready then go help the ride managers on their 100's. If you want people to run 100's so you can "ride them someday when you are ready," then by golly go out there and volunteer to help a ride manger run a 100 today. If you don't, don't expect that many to be around when "you are ready." Ride managers need people to help. It's hard to get help - especially at 3 AM! The fate of the 100 mile ride is up to the riders who want to ride them or say they want to ride them.
