Convention clicks?

["Susan Brehm" <RockingB@worldnet.att.net>]

I went to the AERC convention in Reno last month and I think
I must have been at a different one than the one Friendly
LDs from the SE attended!  When I left here (northern VA) I
had only met one endurance rider so far.  I haven't done a
ride yet, and I've only just started working with my horse
(purchased in January).  I knew a few names of people from
RideCamp.

I thought the people were exceptionally friendly and
welcoming.  I saw someone passing out nametags at the first
RideCamp breakfast, right after I sat down.  I'm a very
outgoing person and will just introduce myself and start up
a conversation so I guess I just butted myself into the
group.  But I have never met a more welcoming group of horse
people in my whole life!  No one cares who I am (or am not),
what I look like, what kind of horse I have, what kind of
tack I like -- and they are the absolute best at putting up
with a zillion questions followed by agonizing indecision
about things like what saddle to buy or which vitamin
supplement to use.

Like I said before, I must have been at a different AERC
convention.
