Re: [RC] VC100 - First 100/Photos - bsbatCongrats Tosha. Sounds like you are so very lucky to have a great horse/rider combo. Congrats and good job to you Chris on excellent conditioning of your horse. Jen M Tosha Duncan, just turned 17, finished her first 100 after only 2 weeks of completing her first 50, on my horse Rambo Bay, a 15-3, 12YO Gelding Camp Far West was her first ride. We had a little discussion after she came in 2nd at lunch. Hard to say a whole bunch when the horse looks so good. She ended up 4th with runner up BC. She started the VC100 on Rambo Bay. We used the new composite Griphorseshoes from www.GripHorseShoes.com because of the terrain and the asphalt involved. She was also riding in the new FreeForm treeless saddle and HAF pad from Italy. All of which preformed maliciously. Tosha was in the mid 20's at the 25 mile lunch stop. She moved up to 9th at the Washoe. Came in to lunch at the 50 mile mark with Rambo looking good and about 12 or so. I vetted Rambo through at the end of the 75 mile loop. He got all "A's" and "HOOT" from the vet at the end of his trot out. He said that this was the first horse that got all "A's" and no "B's" Vet check at mile 95 got a similar comment from the vet about how fresh Rambo looked. Tosh ended up 13th with a very fresh horse and a happy owner. She got to ride with some of the best endurance riders in the world. A lot had to do with Rambo who has 7 years of conditioning. Also, lots of things happen when you take 60#'s of a horse. Photo link below has lots of photo's, look for the Virginia City 100 link. Chris Martin "it's all about the ride!"
