The first was a "points race" for the top. This became known as the "great trailer race" because it was more about who could trailer the greatest number of miles than who had the best horse. That was in the days when there were between 80 and 90 100 mile rides a year, vs. the 39 or 40 we have today. This format would be even more an award for the best trailer and rider with the most time to travel today than it was then. I don't remember the name of anyone that won the NC in those days. Uh, my point here was that these were very deserving Champions -- many of them and their horses ended up in the Hall of Fame and are icons in our sport. Along with folks like Boyd Zontelli and Lew Hollander, heavyweights famous for being First Overall on many tough rides. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.chiprider.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
