[RC] How to reduce costs of hauling to rides - carpooling - heidi larsonand that is why I generally haul alone, go to the maximum amt. of rides I can afford (I'm also paying for a junior when she goes - shoes, tack, horse, feed, ride fees - when she goes, I'm carpooling but paying the whole tab.) Not complaining, just stating facts. heidi ps - does a thong count as big girl panties?!!! :) --- Chris Paus <chrisnstar@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: --------------------------------- Heidi, we can come up with a zillion "what ifs." Geez, we are endurance riders. Think of all the things that could happen to us and our horses out on trail, but we still tack up and go out there and pay for the privilege to ride on tough trails, long distances in sometimes miserable conditions! Sure, carpooling won't work for everyone, If you look for enough reasons for it not to work, then it won't. Endurance riders generally are a creative bunch.
