First off - please include [carriage return] in your posts. As is, they
are nearly impossible to read. [Enter] or [Return] puts the carriage
return in for you. Even if you have an editor that looks to you as if
the lines are formatted correctly, if the cr is not there, or the lines
are longer than 65 characters, what you get in the output is very hard
to read.

To find out about rides in your area, check out the endurance web page,
follow the links to the various organizations. You'll find the rides
listed there, along with whom to contact for more information.
http://www.aerc.org
http://www.endurance.net

The combination rides you hear folks talking about are "Ride and Ties".
Two humans, one horse teams. Yes they exists. Those folks that do them,
love them.

Again, look to the endurance web page and check out the archives and
the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section for what these rides are
and where to find more information.
