Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a
duck. Sound like cheating to me, if I were the other Tevis riders I would
be pitching a fit. Was there any inquiry into this
'coincidence.'
I remember on one of my first CTR rides, my husband and I
were riding along with another couple with alot more experience than us.
At one point in the trail, they broke from a fast trot to a dead standstill and
'just decided they wanted to eat some blueberries and relax for a minute.'
My husband and I continued around the bend to find a surprise vet check, ummm,
you think they knew it was there and wanted to pulse down their horses and
increase their scores. You bet.
Like I said, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's
probably a duck. The show ring people have nothing on some of the people
in this sport. I know I'll get alot of flack for that, but it's
true.

Subject: RE: [RC] The finish at the
Tevis
This is a very curious description...two horses and riders just
"happen" to be out riding part of the Tevis trail at the very same time that
Potato just "happens" to be pushing for the finish line, and there were
reports of two horses joining Potato and may have been pacing him...does this
strike anyone else as a bit peculiar?
They might not have felt silly at all...
