Re: [RC] Heart Monitors - Barbara McCraryBob Waltz produced the first progenitor of the EZ Ride stirrup. I still have my first pair that I bought from him.....made of aluminum. I suspect Garrett Ford bought the design-patent-whatever from Bob, as the first time I met Bob was at the Fords' place in Tucson back in the early 1980s. Roger Ford was starting his first endurance ride, had contacted me and other established ride managers for ideas, invited me to come to his first ride, the Old Pueblo. Amy loaned me a horse and I rode it.

Ive gave up submitting to the aerc many times seems they mainly give out the hall of fame to newer people and many board members have not been around back in the good ole days. My wish to him was to get him the aerc hall of Fame before he's gone. I do not play the game of writing submission papers to the AERC anymore! Bob Walz should have been a automatic Hall of FAMER.
