[RC] Cancelling Quicksilver due to rain - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I gotta chime in on this one.  I don't know the exact
composition of the soils in San Jose, but if it like the East
Bay of San Franicsco, you definitely don't want to ride even
if you could.  That clay soil can pack in your horses hooves
and your 14.2 arab is now 15 hands. I remember quite well trying
to dig it out and several inches under the hooves is not
unimaginable.  Kinda like pony platform shoes.  Particularly when it starts to 
dry.  If it isn't balling under the hooves it
can be slick.
