RE: RE: RE: Calling All LD Riders

["Salim Nice" <snice@hcrecovery.com>]

Bob,

I am going to shirt it again.  We already have multi-day LD's and I have not
heard of any resulting problems.  If it exists already and it is not causing
problems why try to restrict anything more than we have to.  I have doubts
that the percentage of LD horses within the 48-60 month range is all that
high anyway.
