Re: Why I've always loved Endurance

["Maggie Mieske" <mmieske@netonecom.net>]

Hi Karla,
The more I am into endurance, the more I love it, too.  I have been riding
with my daughter this year and absolutely love it.  I wish the other two
kids would try it.  I can't wait for my husband to start his horse so we
can all ride together in competition.  Maybe we'll try for one of those
husband/wife team awards or a family award or something.  No NC in store
for me!  
Maggie
