Re: [PNER] RE: [RC] Presidents Cup: (now horse longevity) - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...Nope, the incentive to have to take the SAME horse to the next ride is IMO one of the biggest PROTECTIVE factors we have in our sport here in this country--it makes riders ..." I know that it will never happen because of economics and human nature but my ideal international endurance championship would require the winners to complete 5 100 mile races, over varied terrain, with the races spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. I think that, except for possibly the last race, we would see slower speeds, lower pull rates etc. One race championships encourage putting all one's eggs in one basket.
