The Bowens. The horse aka Willy went over a
cliff during a training ride back I think in 2002 or 2003. Debbie
Parsons is crewing for them to get a taste of what the Tevis is all about.
She will be attemping the Tevis herself one day. Debbie is from the
SE Region (Florida).
There are currently 200 riders and horses on the entry
list. Let us know if you have any riders you are watching
and we'll do our best to get photos of them. We've got 8 different
photographers and will hopefully be able to cover several areas of the event,
everything from the pre ride BBQ that was in Auburn last night, to trail
photos that are being taken today and tomorrow, the riders checking in at
Robie tomorrow, then riding all day and night Saturday thru the Haggin Cup
judging and awards on Sunday. Webcast link is here.
BBQ Photos are here.
Good luck to all of the riders, their horses and the ride volunteers and ride
management! Karen
The average age of the
horses entered is 11.38 years.
