The 85 ROC was to be held there again, but was
moved to Dipetra's ranch south of Denver, near Castle Rock, CO.
My palomino QH stallion Scotch and Soda and
I finished in a group with Louise Reidel and Caprison, Al Paulo and
??, I think Marsha Achenbach and her
pinto horse?, a young lady riding Mae Slegal's Pard, and a couple others I can't
remember. One of the group was "night blind" and asked to follow Scot's
white tail in the darkest sections. Al had been such a gentleman and
opened all the gates in the last miles so we encouraged him to trot in ahead of
us.
Mary Kofed and Dana's Northlight (Diamond) won,
don't remember BC.
Interesting how the ROC generated such
excitement even with some of the snafus that can happen in large events.
Should be a way to bring back the hoopla and all.
