Ridecamp: Re: [RC] How much is a good crew worth?

Well, dang, Angie...you could have hung out over at our place... and at
the vet check.  We had my truck up there and Gabe's truck...we were
hauling all kinds of stuff for people. Didn't know you were temporarily
homeless! :) At least you finished! <sigh>. The use of your truck and
trailer was appreciated by all. Sunny pulled something up high in the
rear and I was out at the last check. Flinn Anderson rode with me all
day and finished 26th or so on Abe.

Jerry Fruth and Irene were out at the first check with a stone bruise.
Hmmm...did anyone verify this? I think he just wanted to hang out at the
vet check and crew for Diane and their son Ryan. <grin> Ryan did a great
job on a really cold, windy day with a sloppy, steep. and rocky trail.
You, too, Diane! The wind was really howling up on the overlook. It was
cold!  There was frost on the pasture Monday morning....and it's almost
June.  Weird weather this year.

Talk about great crew...there were 3 horses (including me) waiting to go
back down near the end. Since your trailer only carried two, that left
me a long wait. Duane Barnett's dad graciously unloaded the other side
of his little two horse and gave Sunny a ride back to camp. Thank you,
Sir...Sunny was most appreciative. 

Duane really had it tough.  He was running up in the Top Ten when his
horse punctured his frog on a stob. I remember those dang things from
last year. We need to round up a group one weekend, trail ride up there
and attack those things. Sunny had a torn up Equithane pad on the right
front...suspect that was also due to those stobs.

Thanks also to Rick Everett for hauling water and building the nice fire
at the vet check.  The crews really appreciated it! All of the
Chattanooga Arabian Horse Club did a great job under some really adverse
conditions.

Jim, Sun of Dimanche, and Mahada Magic
