[RC] Regarding Cheating - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Tess Searcy morabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I do both Comp. & Endurance & occassionally I have left the trail to "let the water out" I go & my horse goes too. Anyway I have been passed while off of the trail. I always come back on the trail where I left it & once in a while I am asked "weren't you in front of me?" I just smile & say "yes, I was till I had to pee." Let's you know who is watching & of course that others ARE watching. I really do believe that most riders really do want to help make sure that another rider doesn't inadvertantly miss trail, it is not to accuse someone of cheating, it is to help. As a whole I believe there is very little cheating, most riders would rather win (however that rider terms their win, be it finishing, or top tenning)by doing it all even if that means finding where they missed the loop & going back. I want to be able to say my horse & I did such & such ride, trail, whatever, & know in my heart that it is true. To me integrety is everything. I couldn't live with myself otherwise. As has been said already on this post, the cheater has to look that person in the face every morning. Most can't do it for long. ===========================================================REAL endurance is your water freezing IN the cantle bags! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
