RE: [RC] [RC] Decade team Recognition Updated - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFAMEN, Sandy!! You said exactly was I trying to. Thank you. I would love nothing more than to be able to put this sport at the absolutely TOP of my "life list" but I can't do that at this time in my life. Or maybe ever. Finances is another one I didn't even bother to state, but I'm sorry, gas prices are killing us. We're doing the best we can under the circumstances and trying to enjoy our animals and this sport whenever possible. Hopefully someday, I will complete a 50 or two. My mare already has many times. Just not with me up.

Such things as family, children, work, injury, finances all play into it. It seems more and more true - even when one chooses the obvious alternative of rating their sport as first priority - and many people either do not have the constitution to do so or cannot manage to do so. Honestly, sadder than someone who cannot yet fit a horse for the longer and more... respected distances:) is the person who so prioritizes his or her life so as to HAVE not much of a life outside of the sport - or ANY sport. I recognize that the huge majority of people place high calling on family, education and by necessity, work - all of which affect financial. It would be inaccurate to assume that everyone can "make" the time to reach higher at some point in their lives. It WOULD be accurate to at least project that if either everyone in a person's close circle of family and associates was involved OR the person had less interest in those people and associations than others - then that person likely COULD pursue higher goals - assuming finances allowed. There are many factors. In any case, completing a 25 miler for a child, a senior, a handicapped person - are all higher accomplishments than one would witness in most ANY show ring. :) JMHO Sandy Adams Deep Sands Arabians www.deepsands.com ________________________________ Gas prices getting you down?
