[RC] Tevis trail and horse death - Mary MaynardFirst, I want to say that from the depth of my heart, I ache for Tayna and her huge loss. Tenzing was a very fine horse. I always admired him for his beauty and Tayna for her care and love of him. I always have held Tayna in high reguard as an accomplished rider and lover of her horses. She deserves our sympathy, not unfounded criticisim. Tenzing lived right off the tevis trail and both Tenzing and Tayna have ridden that trail more then the average rider. I have ridden that trail poning a horse, running with a horse, and riding licky split...the trail anywhere in that section can be dangeous. This was a horrible accident that could have happened to any of you. Quit throwing blame, and let AERC start asking questions and find out IF anything could have been done to avoid this. Now is a time to give care to our fellow rider who lost her beloved horse.I too think a start at Deadwood should be questioned. Fresh horses on that section increases risk for accidents. Blessings go to Tenzing and to Tayna Mary Anne Maynard _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar ? get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
