100 in a day vs 250 over four days

["Tina Rushing" <tinarushing@coastside.net>]

I believe that you have misinterpreted Karen's message.  She is referring to
rating the horse for a longer haul. This takes skill, no more and no less
than completing a 100 - but different.

Karen has instinct, tons of experience, and common sense.  We could all use
a big dose of those things.

Some extra luck would be helpful.
Some mental flexibilty is a bonus.
Consider a "chill" folder for that outbound mail.

    I may be taking this the wrong way, But don't we want our horses to
always be
    sound?  I sure do.  I don't start any ride and "hope" my horse stays
"sound"
    until the finish, if I feel there is a question I stay home.  I don't do
a
    ride, either 50s, 100s or multi days unless I know my horse is in great
    condition.  Yes, I know things can and do go wrong, but "K" seems to
have the
    attitude of doing 100s is best cuz as she says " horse only has to stay
sound
    1 day"  Pretty pathetic to me.
