[RC] Chicken Chase name - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Tess Searcy morabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I have the answer to this one.  Many people thought it was because of the wild 
chikens running around at the ride site but actually there was a human run 
years before the endurance ride that was put on by the lady who started the 
Chicken Chase ride.  The run was named for the event sponsored by Kentucky 
Fried Chicken (KFC) so the Chicken Chase!  I rather like the vision of the 
chickens chasing the horses but that is history for you, some 20 years ago.
