I don't know that CTR is any more of a learning forum for riders.  I wish it
were, but there's no one there either talking to newbies about conditioning,
feeding, cooling, or how to watch your horse for distress.  People can get
their horses into just as much trouble, just at a slower pace :-)

I think you are right on about an educational interlude at rides. It would
be nice if a talk from the horse vet and judge on these issues happened at
every ride with attendance being optional for experienced folks, and maybe
manditory for newbies.

Just my $.02.
