[RC] Tom Ivers ! - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Dennis Farnham dfarnham09@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Hello everyone,

Concerning Tom's contributions, I do know that our training/conditioning 
program was missing something. I found that piece of the puzzle in Tom's 
writings. It was one piece, but a very critical piece. I don't know if any of 
you have noticed his mantra concerning his efforts with the equine athlete:
        "PRESERVE AND ENHANCE"

Also we should't forget that Tom is primarily concerned with "preserving and 
enhancing" at elite levels of equine, athletic performance. It's not very 
difficult to "preserve" when one's goal is the accumulation of pleasurable 
miles on the trail, but one isn't really enhancing athletic ability of horse or 
rider...which is certainly okay and an admirable goal. Once again the apples 
and oranges syndrome rears its ugly head in the conversation. Anyway, thanks 
Tom for all the research you've done and the synthesizing of said research in 
your writings. Don't really know why you perservere...I'd think you would be 
weary of being a "voice crying in the wilderness" by now.

Enjoy the ride,

Dennis
