    Re: [RC] LD - Renee Gonzalez


    Lets just face it. The reason we feel like second class citizens when doing an LD is because we *ARE* second class citizens!

    (calm down--*that was a joke*)

    I've done far more LD's than I have 50's and have never once felt as though I was being treated like a second class citizen. I do feel like its a common courtesy to let a 50 vet ahead of me if I'm just waiting for a completion check and they still have another loop to do.

    hello all

    I really understand where you feel that LD riders have become second class citezens. I have done about

    9 LD rides because of my older mare's lameness. Now that I have a new horse, I can't wait to finally get to

    50's where others (vets and ride managers) will finally acknowledge me and my horse how they should have before.

    I am not saying that all vets and ride managers are like that, but I have only done one 50 and it was a very different

    ride. No matter what distance you do, riders and horses should be treated the same on any distance ride.

    Happy Trails
    Courtney
