The Marriott Ranch ride & tie Nov. 2nd and is growing this year. Mary 
Tiscornia is cheerleading a contingency from the West coast to go to 
Virgina to the race this year. So far six people have committed and we 
expect about 8 to make the trek.
You don't have to run to compete or complete. Just have the willingness 
to move forward and be able to ride well.
Last year Danielle Kanavy and I finished first in her first r&t. Valerie 
has committed to finding horses for the West coast group for this year. 
Valerie hinted about a party at their ranch (hour drive from the race 
site) the night before with Marriott putting on a bash at the race site 
after the event.
I believe that Jan Worthington will be my partner (victim) for the 
Marriott race this year.
I'll try to assist with finding horses for anyone from out-of-area who 
wants to come.
The rest of you, come try it...Dan Neja, Hume VA 540-364-2627
