Re: RC: Oakland Hills Incident



You got to this first, MaryBen!

I haven't seen Rocky since this ride, but I know Ken well enough to know that he
wouldn't have let Rocky run in front if the he wasn't **really** ready for it.
Rocky has been brought along slowly and carefully; Ken has conditioned him
strategically, over time.

When I saw Ken on Wednesday and asked how Rocky was doing, Ken glowed.....
"Fantastic... he looks great."

I've ridden with Ken a lot, and he's a great rider, very careful with his horses
and is super with Rocky... he deserves a huge attaboy for two great back to
back  first place finishes.

Congratulations, Ken!
