[RC] The Benefits of Challenge - Naomi PrestonYes, the Tevis is a Challenge. There are other challenges,
too. Like the first 25 or 50 mile ride for a new person to
endurance, or the first 100 miler a rider and horse attempt.
Challenges are all relative. Maybe someone's challenge is working
full time and having enough time to condition their horse to
compete. Or having a family and a job and trying to compete. Or
having a physical limitation/injury/disability and managing to compete. Or
having enough money in this economy to attend rides. Or the Ride
Manager that puts on the ride, knowing they will lose money. There are
lots of "sharks in the tank"...... lots of people face them
every day. Endurance riding is very challenging in
itself. How about a toast to those that overcome challenges all
the time?
