Re: [RC] Bird's loong Yellowhammer story - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

she devised a brilliant plan to buy bags and donate them to Angie 
McGheeâ??s Longstreet ride next May and then compete for one of them!  
Since she and Bird aspire to the mid-pack, she decides to have the bags 
go to a random drawing of the middle packers.  Sheâ??ll buy red ones 
because she intends to win one and she wants a red one.  Only an 

endurance rider could >>>>>>>>understand why this plan made 

perfect sense.


Susan, 
This makes *perfect* sense! Great idea!!!

For any of you who need some encouragement, I highly recommend you read Susan's 
story. What I like about Susan is she never quit. She decided to do 50 miles 
with her thick little TWH and showed up at Skymont a few years back. I was 
ready to not like her when I saw she planned to have her horse sleep in a stock 
trailer right next to where I was planning to try to sleep...but then he turned 
out to be a very quiet horse and she turned out to be a very nice person. She 
went over time on her first try..and her second. Mostly being extremely 
cautious but also working the beef off that lean mean racing machine. :-)  By 
Longstreet's Charge he was ready but she thought she detected something wrong 
about 8 miles in and took quite a bit of time on the trail and let everyone get 
away from her again. The vets told her he was 100% fine but she was 
disheartened at the prospect of trying to ride completely alone again and was 
ready to pull. Fortunately, I found out she still had people behind her so she 
agreed to go on. They finished a tough ride and really proved both of them were 
endurance stock!  

So...to see Bird on his *next* outing finishing top 10 and  taking high vet 
score was a special treat for all of us.  Couldn't have happened to a nicer, or 
more deserving pair. :-))
