[RC] Current 100 Mile Horses - rides2far


Dabney responds:
Better than "nothing."  I still don't like the mileage requirement 
in addition to the 100s.  LOOK at all the awesome 100 mile horses 

That's why I'm asking. I really hope we think this through and I don't
think *my* way is necessarily right. Just want to look from all angles.
If you throw out mileage, and have strictly 100's...what do you think a
horse who does 3 100's and never does another ride being considered a
"bronze level endurance horse"?  

Think of all the people who are setting their sights on the decade club.
Will this program appeal to them at all if it's strictly 100's or will
they think, "That's for the elite group and I'm not part of it"?

I really like the way the PNR is using it as an *encouragement* to
riders. That means more *to me* than the end "award" status.  Is this
better handles by regional clubs?  What about regions that don't have a
regional club?  My personal goal was for an *incentive* to achieve a
certain level more so than recognizing higher level horses. Can it do
both? Ideas?
