==============================
sure you could and yes it would be a bad idea - *that* is exactly the kind
of rider Teddy and some others are pointing out in their posts as entering
25s with no knowledge and hurting the horse and ultimately the sport.

If you (in the general sense) don't fall in that category (which obviously
you and I and most on this forum don't) why take so much exception to some
of these comments?

Tina - hoping that one day that the LD discussion will produce some
constructive ideas for change that make their way to the AERC in a coherent,
adult manner. Going back and forth in this forum in this manner changes nothing.
Tony - (who has done 25s, one 50 and doesn't know it yet but may do a 100
later this year)
Embers (also done his fair share of 25s)
