Re: [RC] Distance Only NATRC at the Caja - Elizabeth Walker
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the "distance only" option still has to comply with a few other NATRC rules. The two I always check are (a) the requirements for stabling your horse (if everyone ties to the trailer, you can't use your portable corral), and (b) the prohibition against any type of protective boot -- i.e., you can't use splint boots, brushing boots, bell boots, etc.

In addition to the 50-mile endurance ride (Sunday, Sept. 6), NATRC is sharing our base camp. If you have a new horse and do not want to do a 50 or just want to ride two days, you can do one day (Saturday) with the NATRC folks and Sunday with AERC. For NATRC, you can do what is called "distance only" which means you can get credit for mileage but do not have to go through the NATRC judging. The only thing you have to do is ride at the NATRC pace, which is about 5 mph for the open class. You can call Shelly Green at 505-793-5417 for more information
