RE: [RC] Anyone remember this ride? - Bob MorrisRide results for the 1977 ride year were printed in the old Saddle Action magazine. There was no year book that year. I checked all rides and none of what you mentioned was in there so I doubt that it was AERC sanctioned. I vaguely remember something way back in the recesses of my mind that tells me it did not happen. Can't say for sure but perhaps some other distinguishes elder will know. I know that Becky Hart was riding then, as well as Louise Riedel.

I was looking at one of my OLD Western Horseman magazines dated February 1977. There is an ad for a 200-Mile Elapsed-Time Endurance Horse Race that had $53,500 in total prize money! Entry fee was $500, the first prize was $12,000 with prize money paid through 40th place. Best Condition would win $500. The bonus was a new 1977 Dutsun that would be given to one of the contestants BEFORE the ride. The race started in Pahrump, Nevada on April 4, 1977 and was a 4 1/2 day ride with a maximum 51 miles per day. Each rider was to keep his own time by electronic punch clock, supervised by 4 independent judges. It was sanctioned by AERC and the Pahrump Valley Chamber of Commerce and insured by Fireman's Fund. Does anyone remember this ride? With all the talk about horses being over ridden I wonder how many horses were over ridden in the pursuit of the prize money? ____________________________________________________________ _____ There are now three new levels of MSN Hotmail Extra Storage!
