Miles

[Nancy Mitts <Mitts-N@mail.mssc.edu>]

Well gee, if miles is miles how about miles for all the people who enter
long rides and gat pulled at 50, 75 or 95 miles??? Nice as it would be, we
have to set limits somewhere. Yes, I thought I would die after my 1st 25,
it WAS a big accomplishment. I still do lots of LD rides. BUT they are not
endurance. I would not want them counted together, it diminishes the
accomplishments of true endurance rides. Especially for the people who say
they are not able to move up to the longer distance, isn't it better to
kepp things seperate? In OCER we used to lump LD & END together for rider
awards. "NOT FAIR" they said, so we divide everything except Horse Breed
Awards. It seems to work.
