Re: [RC] USA WEC Selection Question - Joe LongOn Sat, 22 Jul 2006 21:01:19 -0400, "Tom Sites" <goearth@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: In the past i have allowed others to ride my horses in Endurance Rides even when they had never attempted one. In an event like the WEC when i had trained along w/ others of the Team and it was decided by someone not a part of my Team that someone else should ride my horse i would no longer be a part of the Team. They had their chance and if for whatever reason they did not have the horse for that day, thats the way the cookie crumbles and the dice roll. Nobody ever said its easy did they? Consider me selfish. Consider me unpatriotic. Consider me a non-team player. Consider me whatever you wish, but if my Team meaning my horse and myself are not selected then count us both out. Thats my opinion and i'm sticking to it. ts You make a good point: endurance riding is a team sport -- horse/rider team. When you have teams of horses/riders as they do in FEI, you have a "team of teams." I think it would be good if it was managed on that basis. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.chiprider.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
