Finally made it all the way through that Cougar Rock video. It was 
extremely painful for me to watch. I saw a lot of people go over quite  
gracefully (Dawn Simas, *very* nice!) But many riders made me wince, 
because I *somehow* felt their pain. I know if I ever get a chance to 
go over it(and HELL YEAH, I'm going over it!!:)), *someone* better 
video it!  You folks on Ridecamp will never stop wincing, or laughing, 
or probably both!! I must say, that rock doesn't look all that tough in 
the pix and video. But I'm just smart enough to realize it must be way 
tougher than it looks, to make so many riders look so bad. You guys 
will know when I attempt it. No matter which horse I am riding it will 
be the one dancing around, trying to go back *down* the rock, or go 
over sideways, or attempting to go over on their knees or on their 
head. I will be the rider hanging off on one side, reins all askew, 
praying to God that I don't have to step off on my face and carry my 
horse over this mother-loving rock. Wouldn't that make a nice picture 
to hang over my fireplace??!!

Seriously, to everyone that made it over, congrats and YOU RULE!!!  I'm 
jealous.  And to those that chose to go around, YOU ALSO RULE!!! Plus 
you probably have WAY more sense!

Suzanne(I have HUGE chunks of limestone here on my new farm in Ohio, 
wonder if I could build my own little mini Cougar Rock to practice on? 
I could call it Bobcat Rock)
