[RC] The whole Amarillo ride thing - Kristi SchaafYou know, when I followed Mary Ann's link and read the original ride story on the www.equestriansingles.com site, I COULD see how non-endurance readers could get bent out of shape about it. I don't know if the writer was just trying to make it sound really crazy, or if the ride was truly like that, but to someone outside the AERC circle, it could seem like a bit much was asked of those horses (the description of the horse coming up from being dunked in the deep puddle, 'gasping for air' is not a pleasant image, and the comments about how sore the horses were isn't either). Even if that isn't the reality, that's how it came across to those readers....just something to consider when you are admonishing those ignorant people. ; - ) Kristi Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off) ____________________________________________________________________________________ We have the perfect Group for you.
