Re: [RC] 100's - rides2far



That is one of the most honest assessments I have seen. It is yet 
another level of pain. It's going on when you would rather not. It's 
 reaching down and finding something extra to leave the vet check 
when  you could call it a day.

For me, personally, it's another level of cheap. Once I've paid that
entry fee, it hurts worse to waste the money than to keep going.  You
know, honestly, I've hurt some, but I hurt worse on 50's when I was just
starting out and let buckles rub and crap like that. I've been really
*sleepy* but I don't think it's anything for people who haven't done one
to go "OOOH" and "AHHH" over. I can honestly say I haven't had to try a
100 on a horse that didn't want to go. I guess that would be tough but
once you're ready...it's just not *that* bad.  I remember Nina Warrren
telling me, "It never gets easy...it's always AWFUL". After I did my
first 100 I thought, "Darn that Nina, she's just been telling me that to
cut down on the competition."
