Good Morning Campers, Its a beautiful morning
today compared to yesterday which was just a horribly hot and humid day.
Thats what took its toll on the LD'ers. Lynne Gilberts horse Johnny Rio
has done a few 50's so it was not a novice horse and unless they had extended
the time there would have been only 2 horses to have finished within the
original time. They came in at 12:47 and 12:48. The next block came
in at 1:34 so you do the math and add the second Vet Check of 30 minutes w/ the
first at 45. The Vets had a very huge concern for the welfare of the
horses yesterday.
The Vet and Go this morning at 9 miles does not
allow crewing so i get to take a nice bath and have coffee as i type to
RC. The first Vet Check is at 24 miles or so, so its going to be a very
easy day for the crewing in travel, but w/ 1 VC until 53 miles, as Twyla
said..."Its going to take some tough riders this year".
