[RC] heavyweights and led horses. - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: concerned eagle2@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== pushed a button and my messge got 0sent before i was finnished. i was interested to hear from the heavyweight riders. they seem to have a cross to bear. the weight divisions for endurance rides go by horse and tack which puts the rider who really is a hw indirect with a rider who oonly qualifies if his tack puts him over. in Ld all ridrs are judged the same for "Horse of excellence" and it does not seem fair that a 5or 6 yr old kid who was led the whole on a horse should get the horse of excellence over the heavyweight rider whose horse had to work to finish and still was great shape. i think there need to be some changes in both categories. As for leading a horse with a rider, that should not be allowed. Period. if the rider is not competent to ride his own ride or the horse so un-broke that it cannot be ridden on its own then both should go home and get more riding and training. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
