Red died
on the OD trail yesterday.
The first time I rode Big Red was at Hahira, Jerry brought him
there for me to try as I was considering a lease. He pulled my arms
out of the sockets for 42 miles and Jerry had the audacity to suggest an English
hack after the first loop! I would have ended up in Atlanta!
Once Red & I came to an agreement on how to start a
ride, he was an awesome horse to ride, always looking for the next corner to
turn, the next hill to top, on a competition he was a heat seeking missile
looking for anyone to pass.
Red was the horse I rode on my first (and only) 100 mile ride,
he was all business. There are some horses that are just memory makers!
