At least he > didn't set up any psych tests for me! Yup, I always start to laugh when I tell someone I'm going to go ride 50 miles after they ask me how many days that will take. I just tell them, not a matter of days, just a matter of hours. I love seeing the jaw drop open. Yes, we are a crazy bunch. Becky R. - Montana ============================================================ We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes. ~ Lisa Salas - The Odd Farm ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
