Re: [RC] A t-shirt and a rock - tomnollSteph et al, "I've seen winners receive thousands of dollars and a new car. I've seen winners receive a tshirt and a rock" Very well said. I would much rather ride for a t-shirt and a rock. In all of our lives, there will come a time when we would gladly trade the car and the money for one more ride with our favorite horse. I think Frank's and my all-time favorite finishing award is the opportunity to start again the next day. Today I am thinking of the magic in the morning air when we are warming up the horses in big circles at the Bates Creek Ranch waiting for the release to ride another day and another 25, 50, or 100 miles on the Owyhee trails.

And Fred was riding one of the local stable horses - trained here... makes a big difference! I can't wait to get back to Oreana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Steph On Feb 14, 2008, at 4:28 AM, tom noll wrote:Steph, I believe that Fred Emigh finished a major ride in the UAE within the last year or two. Fred is a very savvy rider and savvy competitor as well. I don't follow all of the posts so someone else may have remembered Fred's performance. Also, I was riding along the Snake River last Saturday and it was beautiful -- pleasant temperatures, good footing, blue sky, and blue water. I thought of you and imagined you wished you were there with us. I am looking forward to some Owyhee rides in 2008.
