The Back Pack (was re: nervous horse)

["Becky Huffman" <TOS@htcomp.net>]

LOL!!!  I always have to glue my fingers down when someone suggests waiting
around and starting behind the pack.  It **used** to be a *great* idea!!!
But now, at many rides, you see huge packs waiting around for the Pack to
leave!!!  Often, the Back Pack <LOL> does not seem the safest place to be,
as that is comprise mainly of Green, Hot and Anxious horses.  You can
usually pick up a few additions to your vocabulary, but I wouldn't want to
have my kids to close <TIC>

In this area, we typically have 2-4 10-15 mile loops and the 25s start about
30 minutes behind the 50s.  So if you really want to get behind any runners,
you have to wait until the front runners on the 50 have started their 3rd
loop. <TIC>

to two rides, worked one and rode one.  Plan on doing more to become a
better horse person and maybe to be drawn into the sport.  I saw or heard no
evidence at either ride of anyone being overrun by LDers (15 miles in 3
hours can hardly be called a blistering pace).  I can't believe that other
regions are much different so you must have been joking.  Ha, Ha.  Back to
lurkdom.  LDers rule.  At least until I move up.
