Re: [RC] [RC] ...the continuing saga of a boy and his horse... - Barbara McCraryCaptain Jack was the name of a Modoc Indian chief in the 1800s. Ed's mustang came from the Devil's Garden wild horse area in Modoc County, CA, hence the name for his colt. And yes, others did buy tickets, including our 14 year old granddaughter, who wanted a mustang badly. I think I'm glad she didn't win, however, as training a young horse is a challenging and dangerous proposition. Good luck to Ed. It sounds like he's a pretty sharp fellow and should make a nice mount out of this colt.

Geez, Ed, you already have one mustang. Now you have two? You de man!!!! Captain Jack is a cool name. If you're not stuck with that one you really should call this colt Nevada. I can't believe you drove all that way to pick up a BLM horse. Did anyone else besides yourself buy a ticket? Here's some other names: "Nevada ED," "Mustang Ed," "NevaFlora," "Wild Eyed ED," "Ed Bucks" (naw, maybe not that one), "Captain Ed," "Captain Nevada," "Spanish Ed," "Bust my Eddy (kinda like that one)," "Ed's the Man." I got lots more but, hey, "Captain Jack" is cool and there are some that feel renaming a horse can bring bad luck. Ed, you de man. I wish you lived closer cause I'd love to see what you do with these horses. I think it was incredibly smart of you to pick on a youngun. cya, Howard ("Bronkin ED" not to be confused with Broken Ed)From: Ed Kilpatrick <whytrotfarms@xxxxxxxxx> To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] ...the continuing saga of a boy and his horse... Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 20:05:28 -0700 (PDT) well, i made it back thursday night with captain jack, the mustang colt that i won in the raffle that was held at the aerc national convention in february. i drove out to elm creek, nebraska, to get him. the good folks with BLM did their best to get him as far east(he came from devil's garden HMA) as possible. it was a long trip for me, but well worth it, since i got to see part of the country that i had never seen before. it was an adventure! this colt is awesome. when i get him gentled down a bit and cleaned up, i will put some pictures up. i would like to thank dr. philip ottinger, who was involved in the process of selecting the yearlings for me to choose from, and those who came up with the idea to do the raffle. and thanks to all my southeastern endurance riding friends who acted as my cheering section at the convention, since i couldnt be there. special thanks to debbie collins and joe spratton with BLM for all their help with coordinating the pickup and getting all the necessary paperwork done. enough for now, but there will be more later......... ed_________________________________________________________________ Lose those love handles!
