1. Do
awards make a difference as to whether you'd go to a ride or not? If
so, what's the minimum type of award that makes the difference? No, N/a
2. Rides used to give out buckles for awards, but don't
any more. Is it because they're too expensive and add a cost to the
ride that riders won't bear? Or is it because riders don't care about
buckles? Too Expensive I guess..having them at rides like Tevis and OD makes them special..
3. What about T-shirts? Jackets? What ever is affordable..I love Tee shirts because of the memories..Jackets would be cool for multi day rides
4. What's the best completion
or other award you've ever gotten? And would you want to always be
able to get an award like that? I like ribbons...the bigger the better..lol... I wouldn't mind (they are not expensive and make great wallpaper)
5. What's the lousiest completion award you've
ever gotten? And if you feel it was lousy, why? I am happy I finished/completed with a sound horse...therefore I am happy either way..so N/A on this question
6. What's your recommendation for a
perfect completion award? For me a healthy happy horse, and maybe a ribbon with the name of the ride on it

difference

any more. Is it because they're too expensive and add a cost to the
ride that riders won't bear? Or is it because riders don't care about
buckles? I think buckles are pretty expensive, and buckles are nice to
get.
3. What about T-shirts? Jackets? Jackets too
expensive, T-shirts are always nice
4. What's the best completion
or other award you've ever gotten? And would you want to always be
able to get an award like that? Nice blanket. No I don't have to get
an award like that
5. What's the lousiest completion award you've
ever gotten? And if you feel it was lousy, why? Piece of paper
saying I completed. Lousy cause it was a piece of paper. I would
rather have a roll of co-flex
6. What's your recommendation for a
perfect completion award? Don't have any
