Hi all,

Heres a new one I hadn't heard:

I've been told by a good source who studied 2 years in Ireland that if
you have a red ribbon on your horses tail because the horse may be a
kicker, you could get sued! Apparently, a horse kicked, the owners
were sued and having the ribbon backfired on them! They acknowledged
they had a "dangerous horse" in public by putting the ribbon on the
tail and so were liable.

You are "D....ed" if you do and "D....ed" if you don't!

ps. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you at Pt.Reyes in 2
weeks. Does anyone have details on which route we are taking, how many
people there will be, etc?

What a Great weekend we had for riding! We went to Austin Creek
Redwoods in Guerneyville..approx 12 miles with 1750' elevation gain and
drop. A great trail for beauty and conditioning.

Happy riding!
