Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I have a friend who was selling her QH and looking at some arab crosses.  After contacting one owner and mentioning that she was looking to maybe start some endurance, the owner told her no way her horse would ever be sold to an endurance home.  Like I told my friend (who had been to a poker ride with me) "let's see, would I want my horse to go to a home that conditions my horse consistantly to get him/her prepared for an event, or have the horse go to a home where it was in a pasture for 6 months and taken on a 12 mile poker ride, standing at the top of a hill with its head between it's knees, panting?"  Not too tough a choice for me!

If this is what Mr. or Ms. Average Rider thinks of us, then it's a wonder we get any new members at all!

More power to you.... there isn't much you can do to change that kind of thinking.  If it means anything... at least you know that you have a group of people here on RC that know better.
