[RC] XP 2001 Prize Saddle - k s swigartJohn Teeter said: (p.s. you might also remember that there was a very nice, and significant, prize (a beautiful custom Annie George saddle) presented to the winner of the 2001XP.) While it is true that there was a very nice, significant, custom hand tooled Anne George saddle presented to the winner of the 2001 XP, the "winner" of this prize was determined not by placing, but rather by vote/the Duck. It was given to the "best performance" and all the participants on the last day were allowed to submit their suggestion for who they thought ought to win it (aside: _I_ voted for John & Dolly Lakso for crewing for the Ramsdells the whole way:) and helping a lot of other people besides); however, the final choice for the prize was up to the Duck. The outcome of the "vote" was never announced. The Duck just took suggestions and gave it to whoever he thought deserved it. It would be really difficult to call this prize one that was won for racing. The rider (horse??) that DID win it were the ones that went the furthest albeit only 50 miles further than the one that went the second furthest, and the fact that they went faster probably contributed. Not quite the same as winning a race. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
