When more people got interested in the
sport. I don't think every rider now a days is goal oriented to do 1 day
100's. I've been riding endurance for about 11 or so years now. I've
thought about a 1 day 100 and even came close to doing one last year, but woosed
out I guess. For me it just isn't a goal of mine. I've done 75's and
2 day 100's. I take most of my vacation time each year to travel to
rides. So for me it is my vacation. I want to ride my horse, I
want to have fun, I want to relax a little. Yup, I could probably just
trail ride and get the same, but I also like the competition of it and the
challenge. I still wake up the morning of a ride and ask myself just what
makes me think I can ride a horse 50 miles today. Once I get out on the
trail I settle into it OK, but I sure can be nervous at the start.
I guess to throw in my 2 cents on the subject what
I would really like to see are more 75's. I like those because they are a
little more of a challenge but you can usually finish them before dark.
And to be honest, maybe the possibility of having to ride in the dark does freak
me out a little.
