We can certainly relay the message to the Trail Committee and various ride managers. I'm one of those who normally can't make it for the whole week, but would love to spend at least some time in the saddle with other folks. The other potential answer is that in 2008, regional clubs will have the option of hosting ApHC-approved trail rides - most of which would probably be weekend events (one, two or three days). There will be "Class B" and "Class C" rides in addition to the four ApHC-sponsored "Class A" rides. Mileage and hours would count toward relevant year-end and lifetime awards.

Is it possible for some of the Appaloosa trail rides to offer SHORTER trail rides on the ride days? Most of us work full time and honestly cannot put in the time to condition ourselves and our horse(s) to do a full day (6-8 hours) trail for 15-25 miles. I would RRALLY like to participate in the Land of Liberty Ride, for example, if I knew I could do 5-10 miles each day. That would be do-able for my horse and I, but still allow us to participate in the event. Maybe the trail rides could have a short ride and a long ride each day? I assume other folks are disuaded from participating in these events due to their length and the strain it would take on them and their horse. Thanks for your consideration- looking to find ways to participate more with the club (do not do breed shows) and this would be an ideal solution, for many folks I believe Appy Trails, Kathy & Cadet Howdy
