By time constraints, I meant time to condition.  I'm not just going to go out 
and throw my horse into a 50 without proper conditioning time invested first.  
THAT is what I don't have time for.  I have a fulltime job, 2 kids, family, 
etc.  I certainly have time to sit on my horse for 8 or 9 hours in one day, but 
my horse deserves the time invested to make sure she can complete.

*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

       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.
