Re: [RC] A New Endurance Ride Concept - Eric Rueter
..... Boring!! It is noisy and smelly! It will
never catch on..:).....
And cars wreck, and people die....that is what brought people to
NASCAR -- but not what we want to see at an Endurance Ride
Another thought ... If we try to turn Endurance Riding into a
spectator sport -- Will we not at some point try to start pleasing the
spectators, and in doing so turn the sport into the longest Horse Show Class of
all time? Prizes for best dressed (weight divisions anyone?) What
team (horse and rider) was best color coordinated? Who had the best
trot? What crew got yelled, (uh excuse me had a difference in
technique explained in no uncertain terms) at the most? What
crew fell asleep and missed the whole vet check? The list could be
expanded I am sure, and would have to be to fill 24 hours of a 100 mile ride, or
even the 12 hours of a 50 mile ride.
