I was on the board when some of this was discussed/re-discussed but  
not when the original LD rules came about.
As I recall - at the time, there was concern that a stand-alone LD  
would encourage folks to revert to the marathon ride days (short 25  
mile races) which were 'not endurance' and not in the best interest  
of the horses - (wild races).  By keeping the LD with a 'real'  
endurance ride, there would be better control and oversight. (as I  
recall..)
