I'm a new subscriber, been getting the newsletter for about a week.  So
far I have really enjoyed reading them.  Alot of useful information.
I would like to try my luck at Endurance Riding.  I have never done this
type of competition before.  I have been riding for many years, and love
trail riding, in fact that is all I do.  My problem is I cannot seem to
find much information on Endurance riding, how to train for them,
the different types of events, and how they are judged.  I would like to
start out with a fairly easy ride that is close to my area, Southern
Oregon, Northern California.  I have heard some about Ride & Tie
competition, and think I might like to try that first, but don't know
how to find any information.  Any information would be great. Also, is
there anybody in this area interested in E-mailing back & forth to share
information, and possibly getting to-gether to ride? 
Thanks, Darcy
