RE: [RC] Ride and Tie as an Olympic event - Kristen A FisherCross country jumping has been around a long time and
has a lot of proponents esp. as a phase of 3 day evening. They cut the CC course
in Greece from 15 miles to 3 so they could afford to keep it in the Olympics. 15
miles was NOT manageable in the 2004 Olympics for a long established and
supported equestrian sport - oh and I might add, there are 30+ jumps in the
remaining 3 miles -- so there's a LOT going on in that
distance.
What part of distance riding is only 3 miles and
has that varied activity going on?????
