Re: AW: Tom Ivers letter
Your remarks that your
goals are "higher" or " more professional" is exactly the attitude that
irritates people. There are no better riders, horsemen or fair and tough
competitors in the world that the grass roots riders of the U.S.A. I can
think of several riders that don't have an international interest, but have the
skill, knowledge, professionalism, and the horses to whip the pants off
just about anybody I have seen on the so called "Big Races."And do so on a
regular basis, when those riders come here. So back up partner, and don't
be so fast to look down your nose at the "Finish to Win" riders. Yes different
camps, but not one whit better. Annie George.

Subject: RC: AW: Tom Ivers letter
Dear Angie,
you say that you are a subscriber of
"Endurance World" and that you read Tom
Ivers letter in the first magazin
you received.
Besides whether Tom is right or not: Why did you choose
Ridecamp as your way
of answering to that letter? It's published in the
"Endurance World"
magazin, it was read by subscribers of that magazin - and
now you trumpet
out loud all over Ridecamp. The correct way to express you
feelings and to
discuss your thoughts is to write to "Endurance World". It
is also the only
way Tom will receive your writings as he isn't subscribed
to Ridecamp any
more (as you know for sure).
So why the hell do you
start again stirring in that pot, swirling up tons of
dust? Tom is history
on Ridecamp.
By the way, his letter is directed to the endurance
racers, to those who
share his views, to those whose goals are the
worldwide rankings, the World
Championship. It is not directed to those who
are riding the "local" rides
only, where "local" can be one State, one
country or whatever. I think of
those who are riding just for fun, happy
with a Top Ten, even more happy
with a win. It doesn't matter in which
country they ride - USA, Europe,
Asia... All these aren't riders who will
ever think about flying with their
horse to the UAE to compete, flying to
Spain to start at the WCh, flying to
Australia to start at the Tom Quilty
or to the USA to start at the Tevis.
"Endurance World" is, IMHO, a magazin
for those with "higher" goals, with a
bit more "professionalism". It's not
for the "I am happy to finish"-rider,
but if this rider is reading the
magazin, he should not wonder about some of
the articles, not fume if they
aren't fitting his thoughts, not whine if
others are racing - we have two
different campsites here.
