Hi Angie
I agree. I did not want to start a LD vs debate
All I was trying to say was that not all 25 riders are racers and but some 
50's are.
And some of us LD'ers do work hard at conditioning our horses and can safely 
run a 25 in 2-2 1/2 hrs. And as well we probably could go do a slow to medium 
paced 50 safely. But to say that a LD is nothing but a race does not really 
hold true to a lot of us. 
And, granted, there is a lot more to getting a horse and rider ready for a 50 
as well as actually doing the ride, there is no question about that. I just 
think that maybe once in awhile maybe someone should question the motives of 
some of the 50 racers and well as the LD racers. I really do not think that 
the racing problem is just with the LD'ers. Well I have probably said too 
much already.
Hope I do not get flamed too much with this.

Bill
