[RC] spook - mrsd


My horse J.S. Bach is still spooking with  gusto.  He is in his 20th. year and
has been dumping me for 14 or 15 years.  His best one was on the Rides of March
about three years ago.   Broke my collar bone after about five miles.

Seems as though it should be better after 2500 miles including 11  hundred
milers that had  4 Tevis completions in a row.  Have had broken ribs etc. 
Have finally solved most of the problems by installing bucking rolls on my old
orthoflex.  Has only gotten me off one time in the past year.  If I ride him at
least 3 days a week he is better.  If I lay him off for a week or two he goes
right back to the same routine...  He has many names and I have on more than 
on a dog food can.  Next season will be better as I am in my 75th year.
He does wait for me after I hit the ground.....
