Are we at the point in this sport where there has to be some kind of

The endurance distances offered by ride managers who have AERC sanctioning
are pretty clear when the rider of the horse signs the required forms and
acknowledges, in writing, what it is they are in attendance to accomplish.
Here's a thought, perhaps HALF OF THE ENTRY FEE for, say, a fifty or a
hundred, heck, even for an LD, when successfully completed is refunded
to the rider.
Now there's an award I believe would impact the sport....well, from the
rider's perspective, anyway.
