miler walker did great also :)

Bruce and the other 2? gaited horses that made the trip should be very proud  --
it was 2 others, the Paso and a Rocky?
Ah, but the more difficult the mission - the sweeter the victory!  I remember seeing the sun rise of the Utah Mountains as we were drinking champaign after the mare finished the ROC. Let me tell you champaign has a hell of a kick after you've been up from most of the night, are hungry and a little dehydrated but it was sure worth it ;-)  as I am sure Bruce will tell you.

Buried in one of Bruce's post I saw maybe the clue. JH is a good mover with a low resting heart rate. Start with good material no matter what breed and you have a shot. The rest of it is preparation, preparation, preparation and a good supporting crew.
