I have decided that from now on, before I add my two cents or let a conversation evolve into an arguement, I will ask myself, in the end will it matter? If it doesn't than I can let it go because life really is too short. Too short to tolerate ignorance, abuse, bullying and people who are not so bright. Present company excluded. ;)

>  over what's the "real distance" for endurance or which is the perfect breed. Ride your own horse however long you want to and don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Before you know it, you are so caught up in someone else's business that you don't have time for yourself. If there is something you want to share in the name of education, present it in a way so as not to offend, and people will gobble it up like a horse does beet pulp!

> Life is REALLY too short to spend so much time on RC, (no offense to Steph and John as we all appreciate the ability to have a RC and the wonderful pictures and news coverage)or on any other forum for that matter. Especially when you have horses to ride as well as family and friends to spend time with. If the weather is bad, read the rest of the stuff on Endurancenet. It is jam packed with good stuff! Just keep your credit card handy;)
