[RC] CTR is what you get out of it - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

There's no silly rules in riding horses, and my horses some of which i've tried 
to take in the show ring would tell you they are CTR horses.  I've got about 
2000 miles in NATRC but only a couple LDs in AERC.  I don't generally do well 
in NATRC horsemanship, but i try, and the better i get the easier the ride is 
on my horse.  The more my horses do in NATRC the more handy they become as 
working fit trail horses.  So for the tiny ride fee of around $70 you get two 
days of riding in beautiful places, not going too fast to enjoy the scenery.  
about 6 vet checks and a trail horsemanship clinic and a bunch of great fun 
people to hang out with.  Great place for beginners in any field of horse 
ownership at the novice level, wish every one who owned a horse knew how to 
camp and care for their horse over the miles.  so CTR is what you get out of 
it, it's up to you.  And not walking your horse forward on trial, CTRs aren't 
that stressful on a horse that you need to relieve them by walking, and it is a 
way to keep things equal to all horses.  I never understood AERC and the 3 
weight classes when you don't even have to be on the horse at all if you are a 
good runner????
