IAHA & distance riding

[Lif Strand <fasterhorses@gilanet.com>]

Here's a quote from Lorry Wagner:

>I went to the Region 2 meeting yesterday and there is a bit of good news 
>coming from the recent Board of Directors meeting in Denver for our 
>endurance people.  Up until now, IAHA has only sanctioned a National 
>Champion ride of 100 miles, eligibility requirements (as I understand
>them) are 300 lifetime miles completed.  It is my understanding that now 
>IAHA will also be sponsoring a National Champion ride of 50 miles, 
>eligibility requirements are 200 lifetime miles completed.  I don't know 
>if this starts in 2001 or 2002, but can certainly find out.

Anyone want to become the squeaky wheel along with me?  Let's get IAHA to 
recognize *Arabians as Athletes First!*
