Ridecamp: Re: [Fwd: Re: [RC] riding in the rain]

I remember hearing about that one. May have been why Teddy stopped 
running the ride. It got quite dangerous and a RM's nightmare having to 
worry about horses getting flushed into the Ohio river and ending up in 
New Orleans:-).  

Sometimes the word endurance takes on new meaning which is to just live 
to see another day. But when you look back on them (from a long time 
back so the pain is gone and the memory has faded) it is these times we 
remember the most and the source of stories around the campfire. Yep we 
don't take about the battles that we eaisly won.
