[endurance] tick alert

For all of my fellow riders who spent last weekend in the NJ pine
barrens for 100 miles of ducking pine boughs. We are all aware of
the tick problem there and Lyme disease. I came home to tick free
Vermont and washed everything, including me. This morning I found a
small tick behind my ear. I have habitually washed my coolers
and horse equipment to protect my horses, in fact I have often bathed
the horses when I get home (I got home this year to snow flurries!).
Lucy found two ticks on her horse a week after coming home from Georgia this
March. We are sure that they survived on her blanket then crawled
onto her horse. Please check yourself and your horses.
