Re: [RC] Howard and "FOUR successful ride seasons with the SAME horse"
I would like to ask everyone how many of you have won a BC? It is not
easy and I venture to speculate that very few people have won or will
ever win a BC. It is an accomplishment that many riders strive for but
never make it.
Winning a BC takes hard work, it takes smart riding and it many times
takes backing off - giving up going for a win - in order to accomplish
it. And folks I don't know of anyone that has won a BC by accident.
Beat on Howard for the right reasons - because he is a screwball, he is
a pain in the butt, he thinks at 30 mph but talks at 600 mph, but there
is one thing you cannot take away from him. He has won the highest prize
in endurance riding - the BC; something very few riders will ever be able
to calim.
Truman (who has his on a walking horse to boot in a very fast ride that
would make Howard look like he was goofing off on the trail :-) ).
