No offence intended to those who choose Endurance…Been
there done that.. No offence to those that ride CTR’s. Been there
also.. You all are entitled to the ride of choice. I just hope we
don’t lose the multi-day CTR’s because they do teach us a wealth
about our training and competing. If you want to be a really good judge of what
your horse can do, ride multi-days… All riders have the opportunity to
learn at every ride, what I realized is that the multi-day rides are more
telling and can be quite challenging. Lots of the long distance riders like
Val, The Rojeks, Maggie Price, The Crandells and many more rode lots of 3 day CTR’s.
Ask them which is harder and taught more. Some will tell you that the
Biltmore 3 day and the New York 3 day were some of the hardest rides around.
And taught us volumes.
Again if you have not done a multi-day, give it a try.
Again I thank the managers for keeping this great school going..
