Re: [Enduranceriders] Trilby's miles and horses

["GESA BRINKS" <gesaeqfx@pe.net>]

Thanks Mary Ben.  That was fun to read.  Tribly needs to write a nice long
article, maybe even a book, on her travels and experiences and
accomplishments.  We even want to know about the mileage taken away from
Lad.  I had the pleasure of riding with Lad and Trilby a time or two.  That
was a trip!! :-)  She is quite an individual and he was quite a horse.
