Re: [RC] 100's - Barbara McCraryIt's not reflecting back on the entire experience that gives me pride and satisfaction, it's seeing now how our daughters turned our and how THEIR kids are growing up that gives me that. As for fighting the fear, I've been working on my personal fear for nearly a lifetime, and "I'm getting there." It's getting much better........and I AM changed.I'm also looking forward to trying longer distances again, when I get the right horse. I've had some negative successes in that department for many years. I used to do 100s, and survived. It sure takes a good horse, however.

Lots of hard work and challenges, and sometimes others compliment us on our efforts and results. But we never set out to raise our children for the compliments we might receive. And many times it's not even fun. But in the end, after the long and grand effort is expended, reflecting back on the entire experience is what gives us a lasting feeling of pride and satisfaction. 100 mile rides are a lot like that, I think. "Heaven helps the man who fights his fears." Fight the fear. Enter a 100, put your back into it, and see what happens. You will be changed, I guarantee it.
