"One
rider stayed with him while the other raced back to the start to get help.
Fortunately, another OD board member was a Search and Rescue -- she was
already in her truck at the start, and came to Irving's aid.  Not only did
these two riders take precious time from the race for the needs of another,
but also John Crandell (a past OD board member), who was also riding the 50
and was in the front, turned aside to corral and capture the three horses
that raced past him running loose, taking the time necessary to tie them to
a gate so that the riders could find them. (One was Irving's horse).  All
three of these riders deserve great credit for putting the needs of others
first and foremost above that of the competition."
 

 

Regardless of weight class, regardless of distance ridden, regardless of region, Championship Behavior When It Truly Matters.
