[RC] horseman - CharlesI've met some international level eventers, and my wife has crewed for one for a long time. While there may be some who aren't much in the "horsemen" department, most are "horsemen" in every sense of the word. The ones I met were as concerned about their horses as much as the people I saw at Fort Valley and Doncaster Renegade. As for Dressage, I know my riding instructor knows a lot about how to get a horse to listen, behave, carry properly, and respond to the softest cues.

Isn't that one of the things that makes endurance different from something like eventing or dressage? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
