Rude Riders

[WintersDwbob@aol.com]

I know I am stirring up a hornet's nest but here goes.  When riding at Warner 
Spgs this Sat  on a single horse track, rocky steep and rough going  there 
were 3 women behind me who asked to pass  after my comment (unrepeatable)  
they "of course when there is room"   well several pokes up my horse's butt 
and slips on rocks there was a couple of riders ahead: a mule with red fuppy 
crupper cover and a junior on a Welsh Pony with her sponsor,  they attempted 
to speed but at the first chance  3 said women sped past.  At some point one 
of the rock slips came back to haunt me and even though the lameness was only 
detected on flexion test and circle it was slight but enough for me to have 
the sense to pull my horse.  The said riders I heard only 1 completed.  NOW   
the single track was reported by Ride Management at the ride meeting and 
stressed that riders take it easy and WAIT.  Well I am here to  say that I 
have NEVER pulled or not completed  in 600 hundred miles in 3 years at LD and 
I am pissed.  I would like said riders to please email and discuss trail 
manners.  Thank you for letting air and vent this.  I have great respect for 
Endurance riders and this needs addressing.  Donna and BOB.
