re: "It is always the most important question
to answer, "What is it you are
trying to do?"
...This new type of ride
might have some benefits to our sport. It
might offer us the opportunity to showcase our sport
through electronic media. It might attract some spectators to
our sport. It might help riders develop a better and more
accurate sense of pace. It might help riders who want to
develop team work for National and International competitions. It
might help riders develop different training methods for
their horse. The added exposure from print and electronic media
might attract more awareness and interest in our
sport. There are other potential benefits that we
haven't thought of that might be discovered from trying
it....
Well, actually, that is a pretty good answer to the question.
