[RC] Dispelling Myths and Racing - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I'm new at this having only done one LD ride, a very slow one at that, and even with my goal of turtling and letting my pony eat/drink and walk whenever the pace got too fast we still came in 15th out of 18. Not everyone races or has any desire to race. My pony was happy and healthy at the end of the ride and was looking for more. She just turned 6 in May, that ride was in March. I expect to be riding her for many more years and the only win I expect to have is that accidental one that sometimes happens. That is what endurance means to me. I took to heart years ago "To finish is to win" when I first heard of the AERC. I think the trend of more and better education is the way to go. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
