RE: RE: RE: Calling All LD Riders

["Kathy Mayeda" <kathy_mayeda@atce.com>]

Bob, not all LD riders have 4 year old horses!  But I agree
with you that 60 month minimum age for consecutive day
event should be considered.  There are some riders out
there that simply do not want to do 50s that would do 25s.
And the extra revenue to the Ride Managers for the 25s should
be considered.

BTW, what is the percentage of 4 year olds vs. older horses
are there in the LD's?  I bet it's smaller than you think.

CONSECUTIVE
DAYS OF COMPETITION

Bob,

FYI, Death Valley Encounter 4 day series has been doing this for years.
They have a 25, 25, 30, and a 30.
