I think that says a lot about her management and skills to have TWO horses with such impressive records. from Cindy If this type of stuff is meaningful to you, you might want to look up Kathy Arnold (previous last names include Ray and Barnett) and her record with horses. Some examples include: Easter Charm-ridden 7 years for 2,710 miles-that doesn't sound like much except that during this time the mare won ROC, Tevis, and Big Horn. Did 13 100 milers and finished them all, mostly in the top 5. Kathy retired her so she could be bred. Sariavo-ridden 7 years for 5,110 miles, many multiday rides(going all 5 days), winning three of his six 100 milers. I don't have her records on her gelding "Grey" that she rode in the early days of the sport, but know that he did over 2,000 miles (back when that was a lot of miles) with many wins, including 100s. Kathy's philosophy is mainly to compete on horses between the ages of 7 and 14, then retire them. She feels that by then she has proven them and they deserve retirement. Just FYI.
