Re: RC: Re: Tevis - Slower riders

Ridecamp is too funny.  Why does everybody believe everything as it is 
written without checking stuff out for themselves?  The Californios 100 was 
five weeks before the Tevis and guess what -- two people who top tenned at 
Tevis ALSO top tenned the Californios 100.  A total of 18 horses completed 
the Californios 100, so who determined that finishing 10th place meant that 
they rode fast?  How do you know that?  Were you there?  I love how people 
criticize and jump to conclusions on subjects of which 1) they know nothing 
about and 2) they don't even know the people involved or the type of 
experience the people involved have.

Doesn't anybody realize that horses that complete high mileage (as in, over 
1000 miles a season) are often doing rides, even 100's fairly close 
together.  How do you think that mileage adds up?  You don't get there by 
doing a ride a month.
