I know everyone is thinking about the tevis this
weekend and goeth is a long time from now, but I have a ?. My 16 yr old daughter
and I are planning on making the goeth challenge our first 25. My daughter and
her arab could make it fine now. I am out of shape and so is my Paint. We are
working on it. We ride almost every day, but we do a lot of areana work with
handicapped children and a slow walk around the areana for 3 hrs with a rider
with no balance and lots of things digging in the ribs doesnt help get us on a
25. Its not the distance really, its the speed for that long. We are
working lots but slow because I can't afford for him to take time off from
therapy riding to train, so we train around it.
Ok, now for the ?, If we all start and I get
pulled, does my daughter have to quit at that point to??
And If my horse isn't ready, anybody interested in
riding with my Jr in exchange for crewing or babysitting/dogsitting :o)
? I AM planning on being ready, but would really like a plan
just in case I am not. My 16 yr old is crazy to ride and may never speak to me
again if she has to pull because I do. Umm, she (16yr old) would love to place,
me, I just want to finish with out getting vet pulled. (come on mom!!!!!!
hurry up!!!!! as the paint and I run to keep up with her horses
trott.)
