Sylvia,
Congrats to Harca....for having such a responsible, levelheaded rider.
You know that trail, you know your horse and you know what is important.
Endurance riding within those parameters is something to which we should all aspire.
After hearing about some of the unfortunate incidents, i.e., accidents attributed to the trail, incidents attributed to ego, etc., it is nice to read about riders and horses who went, attempted and "knew the day, what it held and what to do..." (although I know how agonizing it can be to withdraw, I also know what it feels like having done "the right thing".
Keeping goals in perspective, relative to the welfare of the horse is to be admired..as is SIX Tevis completions..
Congratulations to you and good luck the rest of the year.
