Lynne, Julie and the
gang again pulled off a great ride. The weather was
warmer than
planned and that apparently caused some problems. However, the
trails was beautiful, the volunteers were plentiful and the food and
awards
were great. As always, the water hole was refreshing, more so
this year with
the higher temps!
I really want to mention
(yes, yet again) that we as riders have the ultimate
responsibility for
our horses. This was a hot and humid ride with some deep
sand thrown
in for good measure. If you rode accordingly and slowed down
where
needed there was no real problem completing.
I was proud of the
Head Vet who decided not to give a BC award as he felt
that all the horses
that were eligible were not BC material. I applaud his
committment
to the welfare of our horses and I feel he made a powerful
statement with
his decision, and one that we should all fully support.
