[RC] [Guest] Limited distance out of control - Ridecamp GuestEndurance4fun@xxxxxxx (Note that a Name SHOULD be used on guest posts.) Here's something else that should be addressed....we shouldn't just target some of the people that do LD's as being careless and ignorant. What about those people who race their horses in 50's that have no business doing so - the horse is either improperly conditioned and/or the person riding the horse is interested in their own glory - the horse is just a "vehicle". I worry about people (and their horses that become "victims") who are ignorant and recklessly race their horses for 25 miles....but what about those that are equally ignorant and reckless, and choose to skip the 25's for exposure and experience, and jump right to 50's? I've only been in the sport for 3 years, but I've seen plenty of overidden, exhausted horses at 50's, either in the middle of the race or at the end. 50 miles is a heck of a lot longer to take a horse than 25 miles by an ignorant, inexperienced or arrogant rider..... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
