RE: Jedi's Dam - mare award

[Bernita & Jerry Barfield <barfield@primenet.com>]

Thanks for the info Bob.  I'd like to see if we can get a national mare award for mileage.  Do you think there would be support out there for that.  I'm sure we could get sponsorship for the award.  What do you think?

Just consider; Champagne, the only mare in the AERC Hall of Fame and still
going strong at 28. Lives outdoors all year long with the rest of the herd
in the hills and is still good for a hard 25 miles. She did over 8,000 miles
86% of those rides in the top ten!

Then there is Mesaoud's Peeco, International Competitor with over 5,000
miles of top five placing. She is now 18 and very competitive.

Note also, both of these mares have had foals during their endurance
careers. Sorry to say Champagne's foals made better steer roping horses than
endurance horses.

And the mare is where the foal gets its ability from. More power to the
mares in endurance.
