Thanks, Gloria, and all other well-wishers who have emailed me 
privately. I bought Sugar from Gloria, who called her Summer, so she 
knows the horse as well as I do.
 Tevis is one of the few rides where all kinds of riders send their 
best wishes, wish they were riding, say that they will be with you in 
spirit, and mention that they hope they can ride it someday. It has a 
mystique, and a well-deserved one at that. Not only is it a very old 
ride, but also a very tough and beautiful ride. I would guess the 
mystique comes from, among other things, the supreme challenge it 
represents, and what we feel and find inside ourselves as we either 
contemplate attempting it or prepare to attempt it. It's been said that 
in order to win at something, you have to not be afraid of losing. 
Clearly, I have shown I am not afraid of not completing the Tevis, with 
five failed attempts to date. So, I'm ready to see the finish line from 
the back of a horse.
 Maynard Munger, who passed recently, told me when he got his first 
Tevis buckle, he wore it on his pajamas and slept with it. I'm not sure 
how it will look attached to my nightie, but I'm willing to try 
anything..............Dr Q
