JD's Carolina ride

[Coujurs1@aol.com]

  Okay results to follow, hope you all appreciate it, no fingers left <g>.  And Jim, I would be careful about saying you wouldn't go to an FEI ride, many ride managers might take that as a good enough reason to sanction with FEI <g>
  The heavy weight ride had the best completion percentage, interesting no?  For the 55, you and your tack had to weigh 200+ lbs.  Almost 88% completion.  Next was the 30 with 62%, then FEI 100 with 58%, 100 with 54% and last the 50 with 54%.  
  It rained all night Friday, and boy was I glad not to be riding.  Then Saturday got hot, upper 70's, and humid.  So many horses in the "winter mode" had trouble recovering to pulse criteria.  
  Interesting side notes:  some people decided to go a lower distance because of the rain, some left without starting, but one brave soul upgraded to the 50, her horses first 50, maybe hers too.  At the away stop, someone was commenting on the pulls, and in comes Pat Leland and Kamakazi Bay B.  He trots right in the pulse box, is below criteria and bounce up to the vets.  I pointed him out, didn't really know her prior to this event, and said that is how a horse should be looking.  She went on to finish in the top twenty.  A really great job.  
  Okay here are the results, as I know them:
