Re: [RC] [RC] Rios brother - Teri

Looking at Rio's ride history, it seems as if whenever he came in first
place, for the most part is when he took BC.

&gt; &gt; I remember Courtney telling the story of buying Cameo and the

sellers

&gt; &gt; telling him to just take Rio because they didn't want him or he

was too

&gt; &gt; small or some such reason.  Courtney was always proud of the

fact that

&gt;the
&gt; &gt; world's champion endurance horse had been a freebie.  I remember
&gt;thinking
&gt; &gt; that's all very well, but Rio's success was due in great measure

to

&gt;Becky's
&gt; &gt; skill in riding him.
&gt;
&gt;I always found it humorous that Rio was considered

&quot;worthless&quot; because he

&gt;was too small or too this or not enough that, when in fact his nearly

ideal

&gt;three-circle balanced conformation was overlooked.   And while it is
&gt;absolutely true that Becky was a vital part of the combination, I have

also

&gt;yet to see a top horse with a poor body, and Rio's body conformation

should

&gt;be a learning model for everybody.  Too many folks will pass up a

nearly

&gt;ideal athlete because he isn't x hands tall, or because he doesn't

match

&gt;some other irrelevant criterion.
