Re: [RC] "You can't vaccinate for Lightening" - Elizabeth Walker - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFI'm with you, Elizabeth! I've called it quits for less! My horse gets extremely "wiggie" just because it's too windy or the clouds are too dark. Lol For instance, I rode Saturday afternoon while it was getting ready to storm in our area and she lost her marbles and got pitchy about 4 times! I didn't quit because of that, but lightening, yup! You betcha! I gotta hand it them for hanging in there. =) Really good point, Lucie. You can't train for it, either. :) A couple of things that I got from both this post and the one by Kathy: -- The team had a strategy, and a pre-determined pacing, and it sounded from Kathy's post as if they executed to that strategy. Well done to all. -- I guarantee you, if lightning struck close enough to scare my horse into jumping on top of a companion, with both horses going down, ***my*** reaction would be "Nope. That's it. I'm done! Get me out of here!" I can't believe they both got back on and continued. I agree that this incident is a really good candidate for why both horses came up lame (and getting pulled at the very end has to be the hardest). -- Sounds like a really bad bug. The report I heard was early on, that Cheryl probably had food poisoning. Sounds like it wasn't that simple. I hope everyone who is ill gets better quickly, and I hope the rest of you don't come down with it. The whole thing sounds like a tough race under adverse conditions. Well done to the entire team, and the horses.
