[RC] Ceramic Squirrels and Western Saddles - MagnumsmomIf any ride manager out there hands out hand painted ceramic squirrels as completion awards, make sure to post it on Ridecamp, 'cuz I'm There! I'd rather have a hand painted ceramic squirrel than a stupid... ... ... ... wait a minute. I've never seen a stupid completion award. I've loved them all! Nothing like a 13 year endurance drought to remind me to savor every ride. As for thinking you'd be laughed at for showing up in a western saddle, never. No endurance rider ever laughs at any saddle that fits the horse. Speaking of getting laughed at though, at my first 50 since 1982 I wore... JEANS! Well, I'd done my other 3 50's in jeans along with every other endurance rider at the time (and taken the hide off the inside of my knees, but I'd forgot that part). :) Maryben either forgot to laugh or was being nice. She probably forgot. ;-) She did, however, laugh when I told her I'd bought a TB and an ex-racer at that. I believe she said something like "Why would you want to buy a TB?" and I said "Because he's cute". Fortunately, Becky Hart concurred that being cute is a great reason to buy a horse. Just go, enjoy your horse and the day, and have a great ride! :) :) :) - Kathy Myers in Santa Fe, NM ...OK, so I'm riding an Arab now, but he's cute too! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
