Re: [RC] USEF, Tom Johnson & damaging speculation. - Teri Hunter

Have to disagree with you here Angie,

I know a lot of endurance riders who were soured by the show ring.
Had lessons, worked under good instructors and are now excellent endurance riders.
I also strongly urge anyone who is competing to take lessons. I go for refreshers myself
if it's not just for the pure pushing. I am an ex jumper so I take jumping lessons once every
2 years for about 6 weeks to whip me back into shape. My instructor was grusome. I still feel
my legs ache from the 2 point position for 15 minutes without stirrups. Tried dressage lessons
but for some reason I can't seem to get out of that 2 point position......lol


Endurance riders are very often like me...self taught, self motivated
types that never had the intense schooling and training that riders from
other disciplines get. I don't know if this would make much difference in
the medals, but at least our videos would look better. >g<


bring back technical courses and get rid of the speed requirements on these
qualifying rides.

I TOTALLY AGREE.......



Angie
