HI Betsy... great to see you finished your first end ride.. another natrac-r
finds out what its all about..
i keep doing natrc because its easy on my horse...but i really love the 50
milers..i will do more end when i get a new younger end horse.. after we get
trail ready doing the natrac open rides.. as you know .i think.. i put all my
horses throught the ECTRA ctr circut for 2 years before we do a 50.. i do
like ctr ..just not all the natrac rules.. not the horsemanship stuff..
but the horse care issues.. never had to worry about those things in ECTRA
... we are getting use to the game.. and doing ok we do place just cant
beat charlie and shirlely.. who knows maybe fasha will get her nat champ
next year..after do a bit better with the manners rule change.. we lost so
many point in that 15 pt section at the bottom of the score sheet.. was not
fair to knock the horse for condition because i did not train or manage her
well.
nice to meet you at weg
roger
