Having not yet done one of these, I can't imagine doing 100 miles. Ithink
the most I've ever done in a day would be 30, and that was just for
fun--leisurely pace and all.

What, you mean there are some people who think they have something more
important to do than help us with our competetive endeavors? Yes, when
going to a dressage show, my husband frequently reminds me he has other
interests, but usually goes anyway, after making me pay awhile.

I think driving home afterwards would be the worst. I know how pooped I am
after a lesson or trail ride. I could just fall asleep right there drivin
ghome. How do you guys manage to stay awake?
