Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Biltmore..part 2

Penny.

Letseehere. You rode 50 miles with Holland, puked your brains out at the 
end, are sore you can hardly move and you're coming back for more. 
Hmmmmmmmmmm.............  

This is the greatest sport in the world. It challanges each of use to 
reach down and get more. It teaches us the ture strength, beauty and 
grace of our equine partners. A big congratulations. Just remember two 
things a) if you do the OD next year you won't be the first rider to 
come down Shermans calling for their long lost friend Ralph and b) you 
really have to pick your friends better:-).

Great accomplishment - one for which you can be proud.

And Bob Mangus and Ann Ayala both run wonderful rides at the Biltmore, 
one in the fall - the other in the spring.
