Re: [RC] sweeps & auctions - Bette LamoreHi LouiseI thought that seemed a lot of money that Valerie was talking about--- are you saying , though, that there is only ONE endurance ride that pays out Sweepstakes money? It was back in the late 90's when Val came to our ranch to purchase horses-- probably 96 or 97. Were there more events which paid off then? Bette firedancefarms wrote: Regional Champion is $1000. First place in the National Championship is $5000. That's a lot of first places to come up with $30,000. There still is a 25% gelding incentive. And they combine the 1/2 arabians with purebreds, so when you see 40 classes at regionals giving $$, remember only ONE class in endurance gives it! So you may be Endurance National Champion Half Arabian Sweepstakes and win NOTHING. -- Bette Lamore Whispering Oaks Arabians Home of Bunny and 16.2h TLA Halynov who lives on through his legacy Hal's Riverdance! http://www.arabiansporthorse.com Always remember: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
