    [RC] Hot topics - Rides 2 Far


    Someone wrote and requested that I re-run this post for this occasion.  I
    don't know if I want to give anybody ideas on what topic to bring up
    next!
    
    Conversation starters:
    
    I was just thinking about making up a standard post ridecamp covering all
    the hot topics. It could be used by anyone at any time that they don't
    feel they're getting enough mail:
    
     To whom it may concern:
    I believe Limited Distance is endurance...and we should all try to come
    in first on 25 milers with barefoot trims. All shoes cripple horses.  I
    consider 25 miles endurance because I am handicapped and on full
    disability.  
    
    However, my goal is to ride International because I really want to win
    the big money.  Unfortunately I got pulled this week when my horse
    thumped.  I feed straight Alfalfa because I always have and I know it's
    not the problem.   I don't ride Arabians. They're all idiots and shy too
    much.  Besides, they all have clubbed feet.
    
    I just got back from a ride where it looked like the ride manager made a
    killing.  I think that he should return my required deposit because  they
    didn't offer a vegetarian platter for me.  I parked between two huge rigs
    with really loud generators which ran all night.  
    
    Their stallion that always kicks other horses in the vet check broke out
    of his electric corral and got tangled up in my 3 dog's chains.
    Fortunately I always leave my dogs loose so they weren't on them at the
    time. Since I always ride with a 357 I was able to put him out of his
    misery before he damaged my chains. 
    
     Later a neighbor came over to ask me what he could do about
     the loin rubs that his Ortho-Flex had caused. I told him all
    Ortho-Flexes always cripple *every* horse who has ever worn them then I
    asked him what brand of GPS he recommended. The next morning I couldn't
    leave because the transmission on my Dodge Ram had gone out. 
    
    I was so upset I forgot to soak my beetpulp long enough and my horse got
    choked.  (Forward this to everyone on your list...it's really not a hoax,
    my brother in law sent it and he's a professional!)
