There but for the Grace of God go I.

If there are any on here who really believe this can never happen to them 
because they think they know everything there is to know to prevent it from 
happening, please, read Diane's post here.

These are fragile creatures and endurance is a tough sport.  We ask a lot 
from our horses when we decide to participate in this sport which makes it 
our responsibility and ours alone.  ONe must put the horse above the sport, 
each and every step down that endurance trail.

I wrote about what happened to me and Dance Line years ago concerning this 
experience that you woud not wish on your worst enemy.  I got jumped on by 
quite a few who told me I was riding too fast, that I had no clue what I was 
doing, that they even expected this to happen to me because they knew 
everything and I knew nothing.  My story even got pulled from Endurance News 
after the first part (my stories have many parts) was published because it 
offended a few who knew how to make it seem like it offended many (power of 
the Internet and politics).

If you're new to ridecamp and haven't ever read the story I wrote about my 
experience email me personally and I'll be more than happy to send it to 
you.  I'll even send you the sanitized version, absent of witches and sexual 
innuendo.

cya,
Howard

I can't tell you how scary this whole thing was and I certainly hope no one 
else has to go through it, ever.  One thing I can honestly say is the 
emergency medical treatment they received at Idaho Equine was the best they 
could have had anywhere.  The professionalism of the staff, the compasion 
and caring was incredible.  They made a very difficult situation more 
bearable.

Thanks to all of you who have called and emailed to find out how Strike had 
faired.  I really appreciate your concern, your thoughts and your prayers.

Diane & Tony Dann and Strike too!
