I think that most people that have been endurance riding for some time have
had something like this happen, Liz.  I certainly never said I was above
bad things happening to me or my horses.  Sometimes they happen for no
apparent reason -- but sometimes the rider made an error along the way. 
And I was never flaming, Howard.  We've all made mistakes in this sport (in
regards to our horses), I'm SURE.  Howard just went through one of his
(mistakes) -- and he chose to share his story so that he wasn't the only
one who could learn from it.   And that's great.
