Well hell, that does it.  I am not paying any attention to you anymore.  I 
thought you had at least a Ph.D    No Tevis buckle????  I am shocked.  Hey 
guess what, I don't have one either.  I rode a horse on Tevis that was not 
conditioned and I had never seen him before the day of the ride.  Got to 
Robinson and quit.  I led the tired baby the last 5 miles.  He drank a bucket 
of water, ate a flake of hay [alfalfa because I did not know better then] and 
laid down and went to sleep.  After a while he woke up, drank another bucket 
of water, ate more hay and then laid down for another nap.  My crew did not 
get back with the trailer until 8 that night.  He took a nap in Auburn.  
Anyway, me, my dog and the horse were the only ones left.  The horse was fine 
though.  Oh yeah, he was 16 hands tall.  Can you picture that?

Of course since I am an Icon and a national aerc treasure, I can't comment on 
the rest of your post you ordinary member you........mb
