[RC] [Guest] More Biltmore - Ridecamp Guest

Roberta Harms equiphil@xxxxxxx

This is rather late and after the fact, but an interesting thing happened
that shows just how wonderful endurance riders are.  This was a
demonstration ride for the east zone riders, central zone riders and world
rider selections.  Many riders still needed a certificate of capability
which is determined by your speed in relation to the winning FEI horse.
Stagg and Super were an entire loop and a stop ahead of everybody toward the
end of the ride.  It would have been much more difficult for many riders  to
acheive an acceptable speed rating if Stagg had finished at the speed they
were going.  Stagg offered to SLOW down in order to help the rest of the
riders.  So, yes, he finished in 14 hours or so, but he could have finished
much earlier.  His horse looked SUPER all day! He took wonderful care of
him. He deserved the BC, absolutely.
