Not only "not as much fun", but you would not have the experience on the 
trail with other riders, learn the procedures of vetting, manage your horse 
against the trail with other riders on it, etc.  LD simply offers endurance 
experiences, not just covering the miles on a trail.

I also could never say I've been treated like a 2nd class citizen rider. 
We've been treated with kindness and concern at the rides, just like all the 
other riders, but I think in the sense of the overall rules and what counts 
and what doesn't, there is disparaging evidence against LD rides counting 
for anything more than just another training ride.  I believe that's what 
she meant.  I could stay close to home, save a ton of $$ on gas and sleep in 
my own bed and ride 25 miles on our own trails, but I don't.  It's just 
plain not as much fun!!  I prefer the personal challenge of different 
trails, meeting new friends, and camping with my sweet hubby and my horse.

Barbara,  I thank you for your response to the writer who said   " I see no 
reason to attend a ride where I would automatically be classified as second 
class."  I really agree with her.  I don't blame her.  I wouldn't either. 
However, in 43 years in this sport, i just  haven't found the ride that 
treated me that way regardless of the distance traveled, and I have done 
them all.  Julie
