Karen,

Just a big thanks for the wonderful stories and photos of the XP!  
And congratulations on your completing the ride so successfully.  

< I knew better and kept them fairly short, and just spent more time hand walking or else Dave 
would walk them and let them graze, often for hours every day.
The most important reason why things went so well, was because of Dave 
(husband/crew).  He did a really good job, always had water for us...always 
waited for riders behind me to give them water, hauled a few dozen horses 
out of lunch or from the trail, kept me fed and most importantly he kept 
the best care of my horses (even tho he isn't a horse person).  If he was 
at a lunch stop waiting for me he'd take my other horse and go for a long, 
long walk and let that horse graze, roll, or go into a creek -- little 
things like that went a long way to helping the horses recover on their day 
off so they were in great shape the next day.

I'd say Dave *is* a horse person  : )  !!

Thanks again!

Judy &
