Maureen,
You're missing my point. The
West region is one of the few regions which does not give AERC LD BC. AERC does
have a National award for LD BC. Do you feel it fair that the LD riders in the
West region can not try to win this award as AERC LD BCs are not awarded? To me,
getting a BC is more indicative of good horsemanship than winning. I'm not
talking about new riders and/or new horses. I'm talking about well conditioned
horses and experienced riders who just happen to be riding LD. And I have done
Camp Far West a number of times, both the 50 and the 25. Very nice
ride!

Jeanne said "It's unfortunate that most don't acknowledge
the LDs. They have
'training ride only' mentalities."
Two years ago
at the Camp Far West Ride in Califorinia, when the ride
manager gave the
fininshing critera for the LD at this ride, (which may have
included
alphabetical order of finish) the crowd broke into spontanenous
applause
as the critera was meant to prevent racing and overriding, and to
proctect
the horse.
I find the above comment a little over stated in my
experience.
Happy Trails,
