I'm not labeling him a bad guy, just one that doesn't seem to understand the essense of endurance riding. Does he not realize that minimum times, and insisting that courses be highly visible for spectators contribute to lameness? Does he think the riders *want* lame horses? He can't have everything. Sounds like he's got us running 100 miles on a course that he wouldn't dare trot a hunter jumper 2 miles on.
