In a message dated 97-01-29 16:12:12 EST, you write:

<< Sorry, I stand by what I wrote...if sounds harsh so be it. If I ride a
100
miles today and you ride 25 I am competing at a level that is superior.
That
doesn't mean that I am a superior individual or that you are less. My point
is this in case I was not clear - a 25 mile competition is not equivilent to
a 100 mile competition. For example - In Dressage a horse that competes at
4th level is superior to one that is competing at training level. That does
not mean that the rider of the training level horse is less of an equestrian
it only means they are not competing at the highest level of their sport.
Again, what is wrong with saying that!! Please stop trying to bring
everything down to the lowest common denominator!

Right on..I agree wholeheartedly. Everyone has his/her own limitations..that
does not make anyone better than anyone else. But for those that ride
faster/harder/longer...the job they do deserves mroe credit. We are not
attacking people, just the outcomes.
