[RC] Nationals - mrsdAs one of those pulled /rider option at the NC100 I find it interesting to try and understand what befel my funny old horse. He has completed 11 l00's and this includes 4 Tevis completions in a row. 1999 NC 100 1st.MW Tie and 2003 NC dead last but in great shape. He was very excited at the start and was attempting to run away. I was able to hold him but then he started to buck and did so for considerably in excess of the 8 second rule. Finally got him to quit then tried to rate him with some success. Ended up pulling at 34 miles as he wasn't right. Do I know this horse? Approx. 2500 miles. Has been my companion for 14 years. He is 19 and I was celebrating my 74th birthday. He spooks, bucks, runs away and use to bolt. Usually works well after 20 to 25 miles. What do I do for his next ride?????? He is still very sound and his legs are very clean. Dick Dawson =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
