Re: [RC] a year of 25's - Deanna Germanon 10/17/03 2:12 PM, Bob Morris at bobmorris@xxxxxxxx wrote: The horse however, can shortly learn poor habits from several LD rides. Habits hard to break and detrimental to the welfare. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with this statement! David, I was simply using myself as an example since I can speak for no one else. I would really resent having to do a year of LD's (and teach my horse all sorts of bad habits) since me and my horse can gain the necessary experience in another distance riding format. There are a lot of ways to ride, lots of ways to train. I'm grateful that LD is available -- particularly since I will be using the format in the coming years -- and I have no regrets for the ones I did on this horse, but I don't think I'll be using the format to start another horse. I just hate to see people forced into anything when, like Bob says, the info is out there, people just have to absorb it.
