<<<groan>>>  Oh gawd, people, please let's don't start the "I ride LD and I feel slighted and unwanted" thread again!!!  It's just too soon to go through it yet AGAIN!  My delete finger is still sore from last time.

 

Or, if you just *have* to start it, then please try to be finished with it by the time I get home from this weekend's ride on Sunday evening.

 

Dawn in East Texas

(who is leaving tomorrow morning and doing an LD on Friday and a 100 on Saturday...and will feel equally welcome both days)

a lot of bigger more difficult rides require/want to know if you have any experience with smaller distances. its a little hard to prove if LD rides don't exist anymore or they are not kept track of,

Or the ride times are never recorded because they are not" real" rides.

most books on distance riding suggest that new riders work their way up with shorter rides.

Its depressing to be pushed aside by the big shots who don't want our money, our membership fees, or our interest in the sport.

All distances should have results and times recorded for prosperity.

What if there is a huge surge in ld interest in the coming years? There should be records of the people and the horses and the results of any competition; for protection of the sport and encouragement of riders interested in distance riding.
