[RC] 100 milers/horses& riders - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Jeanne Pepper pepperja@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Sitting here checking for ticks after my ride today..getting ready for yet another FIRST!1st race was Tevis 1980,also did Swanton Pacific 100(7th place)the following season and Purina Race of Champions in 1985.Finished them all.After that 100's took a back seat to starting several young horses over the years.Now I'm trying a multi-day & in my usual style...a 5 day multi with a horse that's only finished 50's.But he's always looking down that trail and wanting to get there in a hurry,eyes big and ears UP!So I think he'll do fine.Me...well that's another story but I always like a challange so we're off!Oh yeh, I only halluncinated during the Tevis,the other rides weren't so hot so I really think dehydration had alot to do with it. ===========================================================Prudence and focus will carry you a long way on a horse. ~ Frank Solano ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
