Re: RC: Why don't riders like to be judged? -- Let's get the facts straight

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

Sounds to me like NATRC doesn't have a consisent set of rules throughout
the country.  It also seems that endurance riders are endurance riders
for the very reason that they don't like a big set of rules and
subjective judging.  From all I have seen a heard, I would conclude that
NATRAC is a mixture of trail ride and horse show, with a bit of
conditioning of the horse thrown in.

To each his own.
