Re: [RC] Not an Endurance Rider.... - m lThanks Truman for stepping in. The comment I made was to lift up a person, not bring them down. There are alot of riders out there that have things happen for one reason or another and have a hard time getting that completion. We have alot of riders who haven't had lady luck take their completion from them and that's great. I'm not into kicking someone when the are down.

I think what the comment meant as stated in the Kenny Rogers song, "... you have to know when to hold, you have to know when to fold em......." Just as the gambler had to be in tune with the game, the endurance rider has to be in tune with his horse. Some times you will need to pull. You might be able to ignore it a time or two and get away with it, but then again it will catch up with you and when it does you will rue the day to temped fate. Laura has done a great job, but most of us don't have a great horse like her's and lady luck also enters into the equation. Stuff happens and when it does we had all better recogonize when SJAR (something just ain't right) hits or we may wish we had. The good thing about the first pull is it's over with and life can go on - minus the obcession of not getting pulled. Truman April Johnson wrote:Hmmm. Well, let's see. According to Laura Hayes'online record, she went tenseasons and over 50 endurace rides before having apull. Granted, she couldhave had a pull prior to 1985....Hey, Laura, how'sit feel not to have beenan endurance rider for those 10 years? Boy, I hope I NEVER become an endurancerider...just like Laura! ;--)April Nashville, TN ----- Original Message ----- If you haven't been pulled or had to pull yourhorse, you're not anendurance rider yet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
