*sigh*  Let's not start this again.  I can't see how one can be so time contrained as to not be able to do a slow 50.  I do slow 50s and will often go for months just riding my horse once a week, maybe 15 miles at a time.  Heck, I've done 100s with once-a-week conditioning.  <G>  Not fast 100s, but we completed.

Always seems to me like these special "goal" and recognition programs
are geared for 50+ milers and never LD's.  What about all of us LD-ers
that aren't able to do 50's for one reason or another?  (time
constraints, mostly).  :(
Seems to me like the LD riders are sort of considered to be "less than"
in the scope of AERC.  IMHO

Subject: [RC] Decade team Recognition Updated

The Decade Team list has been updated by Karen Chaton and her team
of volunteers which includes Bob Morris, Kathy Myers and Laurie
Underwood.

Decade Teams are defined as "These riders have ridden their own
horse every year in a 50 mile and up endurance ride for at least
ten ride seasons."  It's an excellent goal recognizing longevity
for the horses in our sport.

http://aerc.org/long_table_list.asp

The list started in 2003 as a volunteer effort by Karen and now
includes teams that completed their tenth endurance year together
in 2006-2008.

Interviews with the riders are a key part of the experience and we
can all learn something from these long enduring teams. Interviews
are being added to the latest list as they are received from the
riders so check the link regularly.

Congratulations to the riders and their horses who achieved
this recognition.
