[RC] Gumbo Ride WAS FINE - Mary Ann Spencer

To all you are in the commuting area:
 
I had some bad luck but if I am NOT in Iraq next year, I will plan to attend this ride.  For twenty years have put horses thru puddles to add to the cooling effect.  This one did not work in my favor. 
 
3 yrs ago at Chireno TX, 44 horses started and 24 finished.  Similar terrain with the roots but some other things such as rocks.  I had a different horse and different troubles but finished number TEN.  My horse then spooked while at full gallop and I hit hard and broke my helmut and the mare ran to camp.  Dang wish this horse had done that.  
Keep riding and happy trails.
