Definitely.  It took four years to get a horse ready for Tevis, so if it 
took me that long to reach another goal that would have been fine. It also 
took me that long, or longer -- to get a horse qualified for the 
ROC.  Sometimes it's not the destination, but the journey that makes the 
whole trip worthwhile.  I know that I had put in a lot more miles, work, 
effort, to get to those points than the new NC requirements require.
