The pull rates don't bare that out. The pull rates - particularly for 
metabolics is much higher for the 100's than one would expect if the 
100's were no harder on the horse than 25's. I don't thing we need to 
scare people off and the list can do that. However,  any rider going 
into a 100 should not go in minimizing the stress it will put on both 
the rider and horse.
