Re: [RC] Mari Smultea finish Tevis? - Jeanne Slominski
My horse and I went off a cliff at American River 50 in
'87. The gal behind me just kept on going. My horse was found dead on Monday and
I spent a few days at UC Davis, after being taken out by
helicopter.
But, as she told me, what was she going to do, say
to Mari "Dang, that sucks, see you later" ?? I know I could not leave
a rider who had gone off the trail alone for the next person to help. Not
sure how those riders heard Roger yelling for help right after he went over
the edge chose to not go back to at least check on him, and see how bad it
was, and decide if they could help, and then continue on to the next spot
with ride officials. But, that is just me I
guess. Jonni
