That's right, they do!  The pre-ride that Jack is doing will be about
3 weeks before the actual Tevis ride it's self.
Jack has 5 Tevis Buckles and is trying real hard to get another one
this year.  His horse is really toning up well.

Jack has got on the waiting list.  So he is just going to show up for the actual ride hoping that someone wasn't able to use their entry.
 

> I LOVE that crossing

I like the crossing really well too.  Jack can't swim and some of the buckles he has,  had to cross the river when it was really high.  He cross's it with his feet planted in the stirrups and hopes the horse can swim.  He has found out that this horse can swim,  on one of the other years,  he was on a horse that couldn't swim.   They both floundered across in one piece.  Now he always checks to see if the horse can swim.   <BG>
