    Re: [RC] [RC] tougher trails - Nancy Mitts


    Two comments: 1) perhaps we worry too much about "other people going too fast". We are responsible for our horses, and they are responsible for theirs. Altho I certainly know people whose riding I deplore, I do not consider it my job to police them.

    I agree


    and 2) nothing "forces the conservative riders" to do anything. Oh, unless you mean their desire to win....Otherwise, they are free to ride their own ride.

    It does if you MUST gallop over the good parts in order to finish on time. All the extra hold times & "must walk" trails that are put in assuming people will go full speed everywhere else, forces them to do just that. They only punish the horses instead of the stupid riders.


    terre (who thinks trails don't have to be 'ankle breakers' to be
    tough--they can merely be steep, or very 'technical')

    Agreed
