[RC] Big South Fork 100 - rides2far

Whew,
I'm sure someone who was there for the whole thing will do a good
write-up eventually, but just a quick tid-bit. I think 24 riders  started
the 100, maybe half finished   (see how informed I am? :-P)  Ruth Ann
Everett on her big bay and Lynn Kenelly tied for 1st and Ruth Ann's horse
got BC. It was a TOUGH ride, dusty, hot, sandy, you name it. The 50's I
saw finishing looked hot and dusty and the 100's were showing the heat
but once the sun went down they picked up and looked much better.

Since Josie and I had a messed up summer we didn't quite feel ours were
ready for competition yet so Josie & I just drove up Saturday morning and
figured we could pull the night shift on the 100's since the other
workers had been going for days. I'm amazed at Eric & Nelia Reuter's
ability to put that thing together... 3 days with ride & ties, 25's 50's
and finishing off with a 100. Impressive organizational skills right down
to the end.

Joni Buttram's little snot "Cash Pony" got high vet score. He was bright
eyed and full of vinegar at the finish and trying to breed her mare the
next morning. Somebody should have sent him out to Santa Fe to ride the
edge off of him. >g< I did not see the awards or finishes for any other
distances so can't tell you a thing about those.
