Seeing that it snowed here in SC last night, resulting in a great upheaval in the social system, this would be a good time to inject a thought to be pondered. I propose that only people younger than the age of 40 should apply for the team to go to the World Equestrian Games. It is a proven fact that the older generation just cannot "hack it" competing aganist the younger riders. Throughout the history of horses in wars it is the younger people who are on the backs of these animals, ie Mosby and his raiders (teenage boys), the great Khans and their hordes, Jeb Sturart, the list goes on. So what do you think? M18416 Buddy ==================== The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable, while keeping one's horse fit to continue. Taking the clock out of the equation makes it another sport altogether. The challenge is how to keep the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that we don't cross it. ~ Heidi Smith ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ==================== ===========================================================They're athletes! This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail. ~ Dr. Barney Flemming DVM ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ===== Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus ============================================================ REAL endurance is sleeping in the tack compartment of your trailer w/the door open, and your horse snorts/snots on your forehead every 30 min! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
