Thanks for putting the article about Suzie on Ridecamp. There was another little article in the Missoulian that went with the story on Suzie.
A bunch of us endurance folks with the cooperation of the Missoula County Sheriff's Posse is putting on a benefit dinner and auction this coming Saturday the 13th to help raise money to cover some of Suzie's crew expenses. I know that most of you would not be able to attend, but if you are interested in giving a small (or large) cash donation please contact Darlene Patterson in Missoula. Her e-mail address is cowboypoloatmsndotcom .
We wish Suzie and everyone else on the USA team good luck in January.
Suzanne Hayes and her palomino gelding, Tezero's Gold - Quincy for short - have been training in the mountains near her Ovando home for the World Endurance Championship on Jan. 27 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Since conditions in Ovando right now are a little different than Hayes and Quincy will encounter in the grueling 100-mile race in the Dubai desert, Hayes is using some visualization techniques to prepare.
"I'm trying to pretend the snow is actually sand," said Hayes.
