Re: [RC] pCup: When the sun was shining - gary affleck

You were at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada?  Last time I was there was for Burningman, nothing boring about that.  Smiley emoticon   G.Affleck

It would be interesting to determine whether the flat sandy track is
dispiriting to the horses.  I once rode 18 miles on the Black Rock Desert,
on an average sort of day, weather-wise, and my horse was so down in the
dumps from the monotony of the terrain that he dragged.  The minute we left
the playa and rode through sagebrush and little undulations of the ground,
he perked right up.  I can't imaging dealing with 100 miles of sand and the
horses' reaction to the monotony of the trail.  Tell us about this, as you
see it.
