Hey Ginger, maybe you should get back into
ride management. My hats off to anyone who can keep the costs down!

PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] ENTRY FEES
I'm not talking about just the high entry fees, but the
combination of all costs in which to participate in a ride. This includes
gas/diesel and everything else. Like I said previously, "We have no
control over gas and hay, but By Golly, we should at least be able to get a
grip on our own sport." Yes, port-a potties are required for a BLM OR
Forest Service permit(one at each vet check and base camp) Now everything else
except for the fees, which are determined by the number of participants, the
purchasing of items to mark the trail; a small completion award and payments to
vets(usually the vets are owners of our sport, as well, and only charge
according to the number of horses) all else is considered FRILLS. We are
making this sport more expensive than it needs to be. I do speak from
experience because I was a ride manager and am quite familiar with the costs of
putting on a ride. Ginger
