[RC] favorite complaint - Robin & Mary-Anne Dorchester
Hi all,
For a few years I was responsible for collecting
and summarizing ride evaluations in our area (not AERC). My all time
favourite complaint from a rider was that there was not enough watermelon at a
particular ride.
If I recall correctly, that year watermelon was
about $7 for one of the little round melons (not the big oval ones). I
figured the riders were lucky to get any watermelon at all at that price.
My husband and I have managed a few rides and let
me say this, things have to be pretty bad at a ride to warrant
complaining. Most rides have areas that need improvement but usually, it's
nothing serious. It takes a tremendous amount of time, labour and $$ to
put on a ride. IMO, if the trail is good and marked ok, the vets show up
and there's someone to pulse your horse, it's well on it's way to being a good
ride.
