RE: [RC] a year of 25's - David LeBlancBob Morris said: It is my learned consideration that the rider can obtain the necessary knowledge with out the actual on horse experience. There is a plethora of information available. Books written over the past several decades, manuals produced by the AERC and the Arabian association, archives of endurance related forums, ad infinutum ad nauseum. All the rider must do is make a serious effort to learn. As someone who has more book learning than I care to think about, I have to respectfully disagree. I've learned a little from books, a fair bit from other riders I respect, some of which came from e-mail off this list, but I've learned the most about endurance by going to rides. Some of this has been from the time-tested School of Hard Knocks. I also learned a lot being a vet scribe, and would recommend that anyone should do that at least once or twice. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
