Boy, do I ever agree with that first sentence!  All it takes is a couple of 
people who use a LD ride as a racecourse to ruin the whole concept of LD. 
It was originally brought into AERC as a learning experience.  When BCs are 
awarded, that means the ride is based on time, and that suggests racing. 
Although I never fully learned the details of CTR in UMECRA, Louise Riedel 
was very keen on them as part of AERC rides.  I think it could be done in 
AERC, without the judging of horsemanship and horse behavior incorporated 
into the event.
