[RC] LD's an BC - Judy Houle

While we're on the subject of Limited Distance, I
thought I would respond to Melissa Ribley's letter to
EN about not offering BC on LD's.  I agree that we
should not encourage racing on LD's, but I feel that
there has to be some way to reward the conscientious
rider and well-conditioned horse.  One idea is to
offer BC to anyone who wants to show for it regardless
of placing.  You could offer time penalties not only
for going too slow, but for going too fast, kind of
like NATRC. Say, a penalty for anyone faster than five
hours and slower than seven hours.  The course could
be handicapped for optimum times. That way it could be
fair for all.  And the superior horse and rider could
be rewarded.  And a horse who gets a lot of BC's at LD
would be encouraged to move up to 50's.  Just an idea.
