[RC] Let's just give everyone an award.... - Cindy Collins

Is it just me that feels this way?..Let's just give everyone an award for being a member of AERC or for ever riding a horse or whatever, and then the rest of us can go do endurance rides because we LOVE it, not because we need recognition at a ceremony (locally, regionally or nationally).  Just the fact that I complete a ride on a horse I love, on a trail I love, with people I love, means more to me than any award I've ever received.  Do I treasure my seven Big Horn 100 buckles?  Yes.  But if they held the ride next year and didn't give me anything but a pat on the back as I crossed the finish line, I'd be there.  Do I count my miles and add up my points on the years I'm lucky enough to be in the standings?  Of course!  But it has NOTHING to do with WHY I do endurance riding.  I'm just not relating very well to all of this stuff this week.  Maybe the heat and marking, then pulling, 100 miles of trail has damaged my brain even further?!  Cindy
