I don't know how long you have been on RideCamp,
but I've been reading Howard's stories for about a year now, including the one
listed under the "Stories" link on the main page of Endurance.net and I see
them, I think, for what they really are: STORIES. I don't know Howard, I live in
California. But really, I can't believe anyone could seriously think they
were anything but just stories. Why is everyone taking this stuff so
seriously? I never once thought he was serious. He's a story
teller.
I think everyone should lighten up a
little.
By the way, have a Happy Thanksgiving
everyone!

It's something she really wants to do and I know she's more than

but having a 5 year old out on the trail riding a 100 miler does
not.
Howard, as usual and as intended, your entire story
is disturbing. You need to think about a few things. You trailer
your 13 year old daughter's horse to rides with your maniacal horse (who you
admit you can't rate and do not intend to try to rate). Well, guess
what?? Your daughter's horse is BONDED to your horse....end result = junior
rider horse trying desperately to keep up with maniacal Howard's horse.
Guess what again? you're breaking the rules when you just "hope that
she'll catch up later". Also, and I surely hate to be the one to break
this to you yet again, but you are opening up humongous possibilities for
horse injury here (dare I say you could KILL a horse??) Noooo I dare
not, you might sign off of Ridecamp in a pout for 2 days).
Why don't
you spare the equine population the pain (not to mention your kid) and get a
motorcycle?

present anyway???)
