A very interesting idea.  I have ridden numerous 5-day rides, some of the 
Duck's and several others.  Riding with the idea that one is going to ride 
the same horse all 5 days, one is very careful to take care of that horse. 
I have never found a multi-day ride that has only one VC per 50 miles 
wanting for protection of the horse, providing the rider uses his head and 
rides with responsibility.  I have to agree with Kat's statement in the 
final sentence.  Very wise, very smart.
