Oops, well, I guess we endurance riders *are* a rude bunch, then!  And selfish and lazy to boot!  <TIC>

ps - when does the "you have to do everything yourself" rule start - when you check in with the judges?

Just for clarification.....there are no "extra points" or anything else awarded to a NATRC competitor or volunteer for assisting others in their set-up.  It is just something that many of us "do".  Points are "taken away" from the moment you check in with the Judges, not before, and none are ever "given back".

decided after that ride that she'd stick with NATRC, because endurance riders were rude and stand-offish...when asked what she meant, she told my friend that whenever she'd arrive at a NATRC ride, other riders would immediately drop everything and come over and help her set up her camp, horse pen, etc....and endurance riders didn't do that.  (!!!!)  Turns out that, at least at the NATRC rides she attends, people get extra points or something like that for going out of their way to help other people.
