RE: [RC] anybody know the answer to this? - Kristen A Fisher

It is true that we share the trails where this ride is held [LBJ National
Grasslands] with any and all other riders *and* campers.

However, I have yet to see very many non-endurance folks take up much
camping space because most of them know how crowded that campground will be
that weekend, and even if they didn't, they don't get usually show up to
camp for the weekend on Thurs PM or early Fri AM anyway. And the endurance
rigs always far exceed the capacity of the campground by mid-day Friday.

Wishing I was there...
Kristen

I agree with everything you said, except that the newbie said 
she was told by the park ranger that the trails are open to 
one and all during the ride and that if non entrants fill up 
the parking area first, ride entrants have to park elsewhere. 
 I'm betting that's not how it really is, but they do thangs 
diffrunt down thar in Texas (great big giant wink!!!) Laney

Per AERC rules, an unentered pace horse is not allowed.
 
As for the ride being on public land, sorry, but that dog 

don't hunt 

either.  The ride manager has a specific permit for those 

trails for 

that day, and as such, has every right to insist that 

unentered horses 

not be out there.  Think of it as being like a public 

campground--if 

all the spaces are full, the campground host can turn people away, 
even though it is "public."  As Angie pointed out, there 

are also some 

serious liability issues.
 
Tell the newbie that the friend either pays an entry fee or 

"supports" 

her as a pit crew from the ground.
