Re: [RC] [RC] Finish Line question for LD Riders - Deanna German
I'll weigh in since I've been OT on a 25.
Don't change the rule. The reasons I was overtime included tough course
(winning time of 4 hours!), started at the back of the pack (the muddy trail
was incredibly churned up), didn't make time on the flat when I could have,
missed a couple of turns, and finally, didn't bring a horse who was up to
doing THAT trail on THAT day in 6 hours. I was one of 4 or 5 who were OT.
Some stopped at the vet check because they knew they were going to be OT.
BUT, about 2/3 to 3/4 of the riders finished within the 6 hours. They really
accomplished something. Hats off to them.
I don't regret the experience. The views were incredible, it was a tough
trail and my mare learned (at least temporarily) that she is not invincible
(sp?) and I learned a LOT. It was a day well spent.
