Could I step in ?

Ok, you can bash me if you like I don't care.

Who am I?.........No body you will ever compete against.

How many miles have I put on in endurance? zippo as of yet.

What are my goals? Endurance riding some day. (Over 45 Trying to stay on my
horse going up a hill)

What do I know? One horse, One rider, One start, One finish maybe.........

Am I wrong? Isn't it the best TEAM that finishes first.(yes I know it more
than crossing the finish line first) Using your brains to pick and put
together a TEAM of horse and rider. Using your brains to work threw what
ever short comings you and your horse have been dealt. Isn't that the
challenge?

Or Go buy another horse. A bigger one, a smaller one, gain weight loose
weight. It still comes down to TEAM work, and brain work............

Now being a winner (with my horse) is something all together different for
me. It is as simple as getting further than the last time with less work.
(for me and my horse)

Will you guys get off this weight stuff, or take another angle with it like
weight, size, relating it to conditioning and soundness.

Be kind to me, I have a lot to learn about endurance riding and riders.
Horse weight and people weight is at the bottem of the list for me at this
point...
My horse and I are still determining what our short comings are, how to
make them less significant, and where are strengths can be doubled or more
using our brains. At the top of the list: Soundness for the both of us.

This is a great list. Found my self deleting mail with weight as the
subject, had to say something. It was causing me to get a warped view of
endurance riding and riders.

Thanks Sigrid
