[RC] Hobbles in the GAHR - Tom Sites

Good Morning,  With the talk of hobbles and Leroy and Virl, i would like to share a story on what kind of man Virl Norton was.  Before the start of the GAHR, Virl befriended a young Lady from Vermont named Anne Babbot.  She asked Virl to hobble her horse who was probably never hobbled before and it was a disaster and the horse was injured.  Virl arranged to have a back-up mule The Deacon flown from California for Anne to ride in the GAHR.  Anne and The Deacon finished 27th, and thats the kind of person Virl was. ts
