Re: [RC] riders set for 120km race - Beth Walker

Heck - I'll bring my .45 ?-- you can bet I won't be ON the horse ?:)

Seriously - when big money gets involved, the sport quickly devolves to where only the rich can play. ? I also think that the welfare of the horse takes a nosedive, as the people paying the bills (and the salaries) are interested in winning results as quickly as possible. ?

My feeling is that if $154,000 cash prizes are what we need to liven up endurance riding in this country, I’ll volunteer to sit by the side of the trail with my rifle and take pot shots as riders go past.? I’m guessing things would get pretty lively in short order, and the horses and sport probably have a better chance of long-term survival.
