How about you see if you can get a 10 or 15 mile "Fun Ride" held in conjunction 
with
the next Sunflower Classic?  Arrange to have a special area set aside for your 
folks.
It would be a good chance for them to see an endurance ride (maybe attract some 
new
blood?), meet a lot of new horse people and you wouldn't have to worry about
liability.  The Fun Ride would have to be open to anyone who wanted to 
participate
but heck, the more the merrier.
