A friend of mine who was close enough to see what
caused the 25 min hold-up (she timed it) out of RobiePark said there were several horses that wouldn’t cross the
little trench in the road. Tara, my daughter, said she had counted about 40
horses that had been held up there. I still can hardly believe that people
would come to a ride where timing is so critical and when their horse refuses
an obstacle, the rider is not willing to yield the trail to those that would
cross. The finishing percentage would’ve been very different had this not
occurred.
