Re: [RC] Source of ride names - AprilIt's because we chase chickens down the trail, of course. The one that comes in under time after doing the trail with the most chickens tied to their saddle wins. Live chickens tied to the saddle count more than dead ones. So if I come in with 8 live chickens and somebody else has 10 dead ones, I win, cause I have more live chickens and it definitely took more "endurance" for me to ride my horse while carrying live chickens than for the other guy to carry dead ones. After the ride, the dinner is all them chickens fried up yummy. It's really a lot of fun, you should come. April Nashville, TN PS. Others tell us stuff about Colonel Sanders (Kentucky Fried Chicken dude) and that his birth town of Henryville, Indiana, is the closest town. But it's really the chickens tied to the saddle thing.
