Re: [RC] re: President's Cup - John Teeter> What ever happens to those horses? I never see their names? Are they all > in dog food cans? CC As some do here. but seems like I saw lots of retirees hanging around over there. There's plenty of space, cost of feed/care isn't a problem. One fellow showed us a line of paddocks with retired campaigners, maybe 10 of them, and walking down the line, gave us pretty much a history of each horse - breeding and competition etc. - They're association with the animal can certainly be as deep, or as shallow, as ours. We've had 100 years to break away from our day-to-day reliance upon horses as beasts of burden. they've had 40 years - there are bound to be differences. johnt (p.s. I think they change a lot of names, as was just being discussed on ridecamp:) (pps. I did see that Nelson had a very good showing today.) ============================================================ REAL endurance is sleeping in the tack compartment of your trailer w/the door open, and your horse snorts/snots on your forehead every 30 min! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
