Racing is a two way street. All persons
involved whether rider, racer, or spectators need to be aware. End of race
accidents have gone on since the beginning of endurance. Some come to
mind, end of race at the end of a nice run off but with a gate into camp, gate
closes, racers had horses turn into gate and crash, remember Jinnifer? I
remember one race into camp where someone had left their baby next to the trail
and as we roared past a yellow jackets nest fell on the baby!! Even having
a safe run off doesn't necessarily mean a safe race. One just needs to be
aware. And maybe as one gets older, racing isn't quite as important
although it sure is a rush! Jeanie
