Title: Message

Hearing the results of just one ride that seemed in ‘preparation’ for this raised a concern. When I first heard of the ride prior to AERC sanction I was concerned.  I have heard and listened to several other distance riders of the concern over this ride.  When it first came out I was wondering if I would be able to ride it or part of it.   I am glad distance riding is getting the advertising; I hope it remains good advertising.   Thank you for letting me know that experience has taken hold of this event. 

 

Like I said having to live down 20 years of the ‘hell bent for leather’ in my personal distance career I hope so.  I hope distance riding never has to live down anything like that again.

 

So, I am glad I brought it up, I appreciate the reassurance.

Kate:

 

Between the Ride Manager, the two Assistant Ride Managers and the AERC Ride Steward there is over 100 years of AERC Top Competition experience. All have managed large rides and all have the best interests of the horse in mind. Your comments are unfounded and lack substantiation.

My ‘experience’ was that I had just done a couple novice ctr’s about the time those horses were rode to death in the ‘hell bent for leather’ and I had to live down amoung a lot of horse folk that I was pro distance riding and liked it.  Had one old horseman accuse me of ‘riding my horse to death’… ( well she’s 28 now.  Ain’t died yet. )  I don’t want to spend the next 20 years having to again explain to those non distance folks that I’m not being mean to my horse because of some stupid ill planned incident like I fear coming.
