[RC] newbie rules and experienced riders - Kearby, Kate G Civ 748 CBSG/OM
Below is a e
mail I received privately so I won't show the names but apparently being
disregarded on the trail when tossed is not so uncommon as those who have
written believe,
if , as distance riders, we
wish to encourage people into the sport, and based on the list of things that
were posted 'newbies should do' I would like to bring to light what some 'newbies'
have seen and should be corrected if known/seen amoung you, that not only
newbies but the old folks should follow the ideals someone else listed for
'newbies.
'That
happened to me, too-my horse spooked really hard about 30 minutes into a
ride, and I went sailing off. EVERYONE just charged by me. Not a
single person stopped to see if I was ok or offered to help. I was really
disappointed in my fellow riders. The race was way more important to
them. I mean I'm talking about 30 riders, too, not just a single
person.'
