Thanks
Katey - you're right - it is not easy to back off... I think that is why
there seem to be more problems at the big rides. There's a lot of
pressure on the riders to do well (the year(s) of preparation, the expense, the
team, the sponsors, the crews you dragged along, folks watching at the ride -
and back home...etc). It's a different game.

Steph,
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!!!
