I'll de-lurk to ask a question, and to offer thanks to all
those who provide *alot* of information through this forum.

Has anyone on the list done the Maine 80 CTR? I'm leaving for
it tommorrow and, as it is my first extended distance ride, I'm
quite nervous. I'd appreciate any comments about the ride, or
advice that you can offer.

I've got a 20 year old morgan, whom I've brought along slowly
since beginning to condition him for CTR with him at age 17.
I've been very pleased with his performance - I never expected
to do more than complete with him, but he continues to get
scores in the mid to low nineties on a regular basis,
occasionaly dipping into the high eighties. For his age and
the fact that he hasn't the "ideal" distance horse
conformation, I've been very happy with his scores.

Last fall we completed a 2 day 50, and this spring 2 back to
back (Sat & Sun) 25's. I'm hoping that I am not really pushing
our luck by trying the 80.

Also, if any Maine residents read this, I'd love to know the
weekend weather forecast.

Thanks for any input!
