RE: [RC] [RC] Setting Fire to Tents a/k/a Cut-throat Competition - Howard Bramhall

Oh, please. What a load of crap. I'm kind of glad your friend will never participate in endurance rides again because anyone who would believe this kind of stuff is a complete idiot and shouldn't be around folks, dogs or horses.

Don't we have enough to worry about without starting false rumors like this? Yea, I'll admit, we did have one shooting a long, long time ago, but, everyone I've talked to who was there says it was a "justifiable shooting." And, no one was killed, just took a bullet in the leg.

We do have gators, snakes, and skitos down here to worry about. You might even have the misfortune to run into me at a Florida ride (literally) but, I promise not to burn down your tent or cut your throat. Trust me, if someone was doing that down here, they would not last long. We kind of take care of our own down here; even the out of staters.

Christina, if you come down to a Florida ride, Truman, Ed and I will make sure you are perfectly safe at camp. No mad dasher will be running around slitting tents or throats. We get enough excitment out on the trail. The camp is our sanctuary and nobody messes with anyone's stuff. Ever!

And, Phil, since I can't make Leatherwood (man, it really hurts to say that) this ride, don't worry about checking for knives or guns at the door. The mountain is safe this week-end. No Bramhall's in the house.

cya,
Howard (I knew someone was going to attach my name to this post; thanks, guys, for thinking of me)

I am conditioning my horse for CTR's and possibly LD ER's. However, last weekend while riding with a new friend, she mentioned a horrible experience she had at her very first ER ride that was a few years ago in Florida. Because of it, she will never participate in ER rides again. She is going to stick with the CTRs because the people are friendlier, more helpful, and not cut-throat like the ER crowd. Apparantly, at this ER the night before the ride, someone cut a couple of tents with a knife, and another one was set on fire! I am hoping that this is just an isolated incident and that ER people are not REALLY like this?? Any comments??

etc. has to offer...but, to see a horse canter over sand for those
distances...Good Lord, it humbles me.
