Re: [RC] PAC BC photos - Heidi SmithHorses that think trot outs are a waste of energy are often the type that concentrate on eating rather than watching other horses leave the vet check. Oh, I agree! Wholeheartedly! They want to get back to the feed bag. But when you get on, the little switch goes on, and they're ready to scoot! The other horse that gave me the same sort of impressionin the pictures was the mare GA Tyfa Mynte in 9th or so place--anotheroneI've not seen in person, but she just has that business-like sort of appearance and build that suggests that she'll still be out theretomorrow, andnext week, and next year.She already has been. Check her record. She's really slipped in under the radar with Becky. I'll admit I was one more person who had never heard of her till I camped next to her and once I noticed her I wondered how I hadn't heard of her. Becky is as nice a person as you'll ever meet. I think it hurt her in that the selectors took her too lightly. She didn't have that "fire in her eye" but actions speak louder than words and this time they remembered her performance in Vermont. She would have been top 10 in the last Pan Ams except she & Karen Clark were the victims of the sabataged markers within a couple of miles of the finish. I believe she & Karen came in together for 10th...and I *think* she had Karen cross first. Check her record. It's darned impressive. I'll do that! I had noticed her age and her breeding, and thought boy, even if I don't know this mare, she's one to watch...
