John:  I've been begging riders to come to BH for years.  Actually, many
top riders rode the BH when it was twice the site of the ROC.  I'm sure
they'll be glad to tell you what it is like.  If y'all want to come out
this year, our rocky mountain sage, Frank Solano, will have to be the
guide cause I'm riding the XP on that date this year.  However, Frank is
100% capable of guiding on this trail.  I am going to be working hard on
GPS way points, maps and narratives of the trail over the next couple of
years.  The snow won't be off the trail until late June or early July, so
I have a limited window this year before the ride.  Cindy

Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs
to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
