Re: [RC] re: what's wrong with square one? - Michelle AquilinoYes, when we are talking specifics, technical names, record-keeping, and awards.? When I explain what endurance riding is to people in trying to explain the sport, I differentiate between limited distance rides and endurance rides.? But when I am just talking to friends, family, or am at a public trail ride and seeing who is around who I can ride with (for example), I describe my riding as "endurance", as a style, a type of riding, what I "do".? I am not proposing to change the bylaws or how records are kept in the system, etc.? I am merely stating my opinion that everyone should loosen up a little bit (dodges bullets).? My stating "me and my horse do endurance" is not a statement made in the court of law.? If people inquire more, I will clarify that she has not done a full endurance ride yet, only limited distance.? But non-endurance people are not really familiar with the different technical terms involved in the AERC and what each means.? So I take the easy route and just use the term "endurance".On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 8:22 PM, marybenstover <merryben@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
