Re: [RC] [RC] Limited Distance OOC? - Deanna German

No Maggie, I'm not jesting. I have my share of non-completions (failures) to
look back on too. (Knocking furiously on wood, only one OT failure with this
horse.) In each case I either failed to bring a horse capable of the task at
hand or I failed in my horsemanship. I don't know how much more cut and dry
it gets than that. I don't really believe too much in "sh** happens". And I
don't believe a person must experience pulls in order to learn.

If my horse comes up lame or metabolically compromised, I will truly believe
that I have failed her.

Lots of room for differences of opinions and different goals in distance
riding sports.

Deanna,
Surely you jest!!!  IF we learn from our pulls, then it certainly is NOT a
failure.  Sometimes "shit happens".   I started myself and later Malik out
on 25 LD and comp rides...I must have learned something somewhere.
Miles of smiles,
Maggie
