[RC] re: any horse can do 25, etc. - Jonni JewellHoward sarcastically posted >>>(Wouldn't Cindy make a fantastic mentor for new riders????)<<< As a matter of fact Howard, she would make an EXCELLENT mentor for new riders. There is much to learn from these riders who have been in the sport for as many years as Cindy has. (go look at her record Howard, you can only wish to do so well and so many miles....I know I do) They have been there to see the problems, see the changes, and figure out how to make it in the sport. They know how to condition and fit up a horse to do ENDURANCE. Most of these "old timers" have seen and done it all. Much more than most of us who tinker at this sport will ever experience. We DO have much to learn from them. It is funny, that for the most part, it is the "old timers" that see problems with some of the LD issues...and the newer riders don't want to listen to them.I wonder why experience holds no credibility for some things.
