Ridecamp: Re: [RC] AERC and LD

I may be mistaken, Rob, but I think the concern of many is that it is the
horse who does not get to choose how fast the ride is ridden and if that
horse is  (as is often the case with first time yahoos) not properly
conditioned for what is asked of him/her, it is the horse who will spend the
night with an IV hanging from a tree (or worse).
