LD Training

[Steve Shaw <sshaw@pacbell.net>]

If anyone wants to test or train their horse at a limited distance try 
doing any of the ride & ties. It not only puts your horse through a 
great race situation but also gets you to see the trail from their 
perspective.

Limited Distance Races:

I believe that we need to meet the needs of the people. Meet the needs 
of the ones that have graduated to long distance riding, the 50's, 100's 
and multi-days AND meet the needs of the newcomers and short 
course-limited attention span riders. They want to race and be back home 
to watch the ball games later in the day. OK, everyone to their sport.

AERC should be a part of it all. That will help to protect the horse.
