The Duck, aka Dave Nicholson, also has an excellent article in this
month's Endurance News.  Below are two of my favorite Duck quotes,

"The fundamental misconception here is that the potential harm comes from
the distance in the event. I find this not to be the case. In my opinion,
the potential harm in endurance riding comes not from the distance, but
from the speed and the manner in which that distance is covered."

and

"XP Rides and Sunrise Ranch Rides emphasize riding over racing. We offer
meager awards and give no recognition to placing in the various divisions.
I submit that the ride itself is the reward. We stress the responsibility
of the rider in caring for the horse and use the services of veterinarians
to help the riders get through the event safely. Our approach has worked
well for us in the past and we hope that it will continue to work for us
in the future."
