tevis

["navion" <navion@lightspeed.net>]

I am not going to go into every detail of the Tevis I rode. But the two
sides here need to cool off and make careful comments.
   To Chuck,  some of what these people say I experienced also, I rode
around Tammy from Lyons Ridge to Deadwood.
    Laurire Ledbetter rode MMF Faramir to a 29th place finish at Tevis last
year and then a 5th place finish at Swanton 5 weeks later.  As endurance
riders we should be the last ones making claims about what someone elses
horse can and cannot do.
     To Debbie, yes some of what you say I experienced also, I don't know
what good a protest would do now, but you have some points to make.  But you
are upset (understandably) and therefore making false accusations and
comments that have no relevance.   What does porta pottys' at Robie Park
have to do with completion?  And there were more than 4, I counted more than
that myself.

   All rides can stand improvement, both sides need to take a hard look and
slow down.
