I had a non endurance rider horse person neighbor of mine
ask me why I went through all the trouble of training, collecting gear, spending
money, travelling kaboodles of miles, going out of state, and camping with my
horse, if there is no money "pot" to win at the end of a ride. She knows that my
girlfriend and I ride to ride, not win. She wants to know the point of the whole
thing. I told her because it is a FREAKING blast! What do you guys think. I
would really like to tell her like it is!
