Re: [RC] My National Championship Qualifications - RenieThis is a heck of a good idea; I remember what made the ROC such a big deal; Susan Gibson promoted and adverstised it widely and boldly. Made you wish you could be one of the "ones"!! But, if not, all the coverage and "glitz" (bling??) made it very interesting to us "outsiders". The ROC was almost as big of a deal as Tevis, when it was held. So, Steph, promote your NC idea, advertise, make it fun; I'll be there. renie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steph Teeter" <stephteeter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> So why not focus on the event instead of the winners? make it a big AERC bash with plenty of divisions, plenty of participation, a national celebration of the sport of Endurance riding? We already have lots of National and Regional Champion year-end awards, the NC Weight Division award is one more 'champion' category in a long list of others, so realistically it's never going to be regarded as 'THE' championship venue. But, we could focus on celebrating the entire sport (even throw in a 3-day LD Championship!) and host a real 'Endurance Celebration Event' - clinics and vendors and demos and such. Breeder's shows, lots of possibilities. Steph =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
