I thought that the newest publication by the WSTRF about
"Recommendations for Riders of the WSTR" was really cool and then
someone said "Well what part of it?...."
OK, called on the carpet.  Though I would rather be doing exerpts of
"Ten Feet Tall, Still." Here is what I think is cool about the Tevis's
messages to riders (and crew.)

"You must be a fit and experienced rider, and know how to check basic
physiology on your horse such as pulse, respirtation, hydration, and
capillary refill. Asses yourself about how well you function when you
have to stay up long hours working on something important..... [looks
like I will never get to ride another Tevis..?]"
CREW
"You don't want to be disqualified because they let your dog run loose
or they got into arguments with the ride officials."
ON TRAIL
"If you don't get off much on rides, now is a good time to start
practicing.  Get in shape  by jogging or hiking. Teach your horse not to

step on you or crowd you when you lead him on the trail. Teach him (this

is fun...) to tail up the hills ahead of you.

Equipment considerations... I won't repeat this section....ALL of it is
necessary and if you want to do the Tevis you will get this publication
or entry and read this...

After your ride.... This whole section too is a must read, and something

we should all try to do after EVERY ride.....

I am sure that there are other sections of this manual that others might

want to point out and I hope they do.
