The HHSRC was an interesting idea; you had to be a single horse owner to join, and they had rides every week. When the club was dominated by endurance riders, it was a lot of fun; the rides were long and proceeded at a good clip, and the riders were thin, energetic types, usually mounted on Arabians. But later they became more of a social and drinking club, with more parties than rides and much heavy drinking, and I lost interest. John Nagle An aside: Endurance Arabians are some of the most magnificent athletes one will ever encounter of any species; once in a while I meet someone riding one on a trail high in the hills, and it's great seeing a gorgeous dapple grey Arabian with huge dark eyes and a foam-flecked coat; an animal that probably covered twenty miles in the last two hours and is still eager to go. If you keep a horse in that kind of condition, though, they need to be worked constantly and hard; one mare I know of wakes up at 4 AM each morning and starts making a racket until someone comes out and rides her; her owner normally rides her twenty miles a day, before breakfast. Endurance riders tend to be extreme morning people. I went to an endurance ride once; revillie at 0500, breakfast at 0530, ride out at 0600, finished with 25 miles by 0930 or so. I'm a night person; I only did that once. JN
