Third, without having a look at my PNER handbook, I
think the PNER "Horse of the Future" award is for second year horses--and that
is appropriate, because IMO, a first year horse shouldn't be taken out with the
frequency that racking up the completions implies. But for a
second year horse, to put the emphasis on consecutive completions instead
of speed is a good thing. After a second year of more miles, then in the
third year it is time to speed up.
Nope I just looked in my rule book Heidi and it is
" For the first year horse that has never started in any endurance or LD ride .
Award goes to the horse with the most consecutive conmpletions on PNER rides
50+miles "
