While
I do not disagree with Joe's position I offer the facts that the main proponents
are Cliff Lewis who took this son Tommy on a 100 mile ride when he was five
years old and his picture graced the pages of the endurance publications. The
latest is Tommy's son, Cliff's grandson, repeating the adventure. This is a
family with a deep background in the history of endurance competition in the US.
It is a family with an ingrained deep experience in horse riding. It is a
family that is well known.
I
doubt you will ever get a negative experience from any of the family no matter
the age.

Good for you, Joe. Although I'm sure everyone won't agree,
I am behind you
on this.
I agree and would like to
also thank Joe for saying it so well in his letter. When the last round
of stories came out on RC about a 5 year old doing a 100 miler I was otherwise
occuppied (but still appalled) and was tired of hashing this argument out on
Ridecamp. I say GO
JOE!!
