I don't know, Bette. As you know, I am always willing to sign my name to any
of my observations, popular or not. That does not mean that I have to "name
names", etc. I need to be willing to handle reactions or ignore them as I
choose. When I enter an endurance ride, I expect it to be me and my horse
and how well we do is up to us. Period. (And of course, any little help we
get from volunteers, vets, ride management, friends)...well you get the
idea.
