RE: [RC] [RC] re: endurance riders aloof? I don't think so - RaeYup, my friends do that. Probably in retaliation for my laughing at hearing that they were yelling themselves hoarse trying to wake me up, when all they needed to do was turn on a light! That was a while back, though. I think I've got them pretty well trained. <beg> On the trail, though, my mare, Scarlet is pretty good at alerting me to whatever is going on that she thinks I need to pay attention too. Her son, not so much. I've been surprised on him by suddenly noticing people behind me looking a little disgruntled (probably had been calling to pass for some time and were wondering why the heck I was ignoring them!) Not sure how long they had been behind us either.

I don't think so I don't wear a hearing aid and I still find it difficult to hear if it's really windy when I'm out on the trail. If you want my attention just chuck something at me if I can't hear you!

Plus, you'd be surprised at how loud wind is in a microphone. Sometimes I can't even hear the person right next to me over it.

I don't think so Keep in mind that what one person finds "aloof and rude" may be quite twisted. A friend told me about someone (and I happen to know this person) who does NATRC, and went to an endurance ride about a year ago. She decided after that ride that she'd stick with NATRC, because endurance riders were rude and stand-offish...when asked what she meant, she told my friend that whenever she'd arrive at a NATRC ride, other riders would immediately drop everything and come over and help her set up her camp, horse pen, etc....and endurance riders didn't do that. (!!!!) Turns out that, at least at the NATRC rides she attends, people get extra points or something like that for going out of their way to help other people. Hmmm...take away the points incentive, and let's see how "helpful" those people would be. <G> Bet they'd be just like endurance riders...friendly, but not falling all over themselves to wait on one another hand and foot.
