I wonder how many horses' lives have been SAVED by endurance...for instance "Red" who was headed out for dogfood and if he hadn't made an endurance horse would have been in a can? My horse certainly wouldn't have earned any ribbons for standing quietly in a ring and giving them a slow collected trot. I think endurance has saved many an endurance minded horse from a life of abuse at the hands of those who wanted something a bit more lethargic. I think endurance is a godsend and our problems, though sometimes serious are confined to a minority of the riders. Hear, hear!!!! Something else we endurance folk can rightly be proud of is the QUALITY of life of most endurance horses! If I am ever reincarnated as a horse, I pray that it is as an endurance horse!! -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
