FW: [RC] GSFTR - Mike SherrellI
think they were trying to burnish his image as a rebel and an outsider. He
certainly makes much of it himself.

hat or the breed of horse that folks were objecting to...if anything at
all. If he felt he was given a cold shoulder, perhaps it was when he was
showing off and standing on the back of his horse?
A big deal is being made about the some of the completers of this
ride. To be sure these horses and the riders did a multiday ride and
that's nothing at which to scoff. I'll be impressed when these folks
really get into the support and do something like start racking up some miles on
the same horse and start managing rides and start taking a leadership
role. Folks like Patti Crawford, Susan Thompson, Bonnie Yoho, Laura
Marshall and other established endurance riders continue to impress
me. I'm not impressed by what a person wears but what they do when they
wear it.
The fella that compared us to bike riders showed more contempt for us than
what was reported we showed his friend. There was no example given of what
was said or done to give this rider the impression we didn't like him.
What a sad commentary...the basis of the story was one of prejudice.
Couldn't the reporter find something GOOD to write about?
