[RC] does weight really matter - k s swigartEd Kilpatrick said: what is funny to me, and i am just guessing here, could someone actually walk/run the entire course while leading their horse, still get a completion and possibly awards? Yes, in fact, Jeff Johnson did just that in the Prescott Man against Horse Race (an endurance ride and foot race held on the same trail at the same time). He completed both the 50 mile endurance ride and the 50 mile ultra-marathon by leading his horse the whole way (and stopping at the vet checks....which wasn't required for the runners). I do not know how he placed in either contest. If I remember correctly, Julianne Johnson did the same thing at Fort Schellbourne(except there was no foot race as part of the event) back in 2000 (the year the Johnson's won the Bill Thornburg Family Award). kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
