You have proven that there can be a balance between
riding competitive and doing all you can to not risk your horse. It
can't be easy to back off when you have invested so much in one ride, however,
your horse is healthy and sound because of the way you rode him.
You
should not be disappointed in the least in your ride. You are a fine
ambassador for our sport. We are so fortunate to have so many great
endurance examples to follow right here in Idaho. YOU
ROCK!!!
