[RC] shagya horses - Alice YovichI have received teh high point shagya award for NATRC a couple of years...however, truth be told, I was the only one at the time. I would welcome some other people to participate...of course, i'm down for the count this year with Deli recovering from EPM. She could win the championship of fattest Shagya in the field this year I think. Becky McCarty, who owns one of Deli's 'sisters' has done fifties and either has done or will soon complete a 100. From: rides2far@xxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] Shagya Bred horses To Compete in National Ride Have you ever offered year end awards for consistant performance? What if 20 or so of your horses show up and RACE 25 miles...some with riders who have never competed endurance...to be "National Champion". Does this sound like a good scenario to you? Would the folks who completed Tevis with Oman have entered him in this race and sprinted 25 miles so he's be considered "National Champion Shagya"? It sounds like a sincere effort to increase endurance participation from some people who don't know much about endurance. I think they'd do much better to offer a year end high point award horse as their "National Champion". As a non-Shagya owner it would be hard for me to be impressed by a breed that crowned their "National Champion Endurance Horse" in a race that is 1/2 of an official endurance ride. I don't mean to be mean...just honest. I have no doubt that any sound, conditioned Shagya can do a 50.
