[RC] Put them on a spare horse! - Ranelle Rubin"You'd be surprised at the show ring people who can be converted by just taking them on one of your training rides. They just do not know how much fun we are having! Keep in mind she is especially vulnerable to change when she has had an unsuccessful day at a show, she comes back all beat up by so-called unfair judges, you put her on a spare horse and away you go. Don't condemn, she just doesn't know any better! " I agree! I have a "stable of girlfriends" who are ex-show ladies who are now converted endurance riders. That is how I found my way into this sport. A great friend Larry Deakyne (who got into the sport because he worked at Heart Federal with Wendell Robie), put me on a well conditioned Arab and took me into the canyon of Auburn State Recreation Park. For those local or who have done Tevis, this is the last 15 miles of the Tevis. I was hooked! There was no way even my best conditioned barrel racing T-bred type Q-horses could have ever done what this little Serafix bred horse could do! I now have 4 girlfriends who regularly help me keep my horses going. Try it, it might work! I ended up selling my last Quarter-Morgan and getting my first Arab. That was 17 yrs ago!
