Getting Pulled at Tevis

["Steve Elliott (EQUINE PERFORMANCE)" <eqperform@jps.net>]

I really feel you cant really understand the ride unless
youve been pulled at least once.Theres a lot of factors that go into this
ride and a lot of luck, This ride Western States is Olympic Level.
Everthing can go wrong from you training for the ride to getting to the
pre ride check, Alot of things may not go as planned and dreamed of, This
makes this ride tuff. Out of 30 people i know and top riders to go to try
to win this ride only 1 of them did what they were set out to do. Most
riders are unconsious half way trough the ride, sometimes you have to
protect the horse and pull the rider cause the rider is not all there.
There a lot of volunteers that put on this ride, some of you dont even
know what that means. Some volunteers cant even be caplable of doing this
ride. So think how lucky we are for the attempt. The ride is not that
hard you just have to think smart, even though the odds maybe against
you. So a real phrase is YOU CAN'T FINISH 
TEVIS IF YOU HAVE'NT BEEN PULLED. t shirts soon available steve
