Re: How the endurance ride calendar is formatted

Mike,
I cannot remember if I have personally thanked you for the time and effort
you have put into making it possible for us to view our and our horses
performance records. So A loud and hearty THANK YOU!!
And I appreciate your note explaining the process required to change the
calender. It is not nearly as easy to use but it is available and I am
thankful for that. But if I had a vote it would be to return to the previous
calender presentation.
Your efforts are appreciated,
Pat Super
