horse trivia

["LEE GRIFFITH" <LEEGRIFFITH@worldnet.att.net>]

I was at the Longtreets Charge Ride last weekend. It was only my 2nd 50 and, with the help of friends and a tough little horse, we were able to get a completion.

I have a horse trivia calender, and yesterdays entry made me think of my experience at Longstreet.It reported that*During the Crimean War(1815-1854),one Arab horse raced 93 miles without harm,but its rider died from exhaustion* I got to thinking--Either that person was riding bareback (an ancestor of Aprils?), or he left his Gatorade at the last Vet check (an ancestor of mine!!).

It was a grat weekend-thanks to all
