[RC] Congratulations, Wasch, Gabriella and Berrik - Daryle SmithThis is a little late, but, wanted to congratulate the Blakely family of Terrebonne Or. Congratulations that Wasch and Gabriella, were able to go and ride the Tevis. Wasch was unable to complete because of some complications with his mare tying up, but Gabriella completed about 27th place, with no preride or previous Tevis trail training, also it was her and her horse, Twin Fir Victor's first 100. Then a month later her young son completed his first 50 on the same horse, Twin Fir Victor that she had done the Tevis with. Berrick completed 4th I believe and got 1st Junior and Junior BC, also overall high vet score. He rode that ride at Headwaters of the Rouge (one of the most difficult and technical mountain rides in the NW) with his Dad Wasch whom I believe finished 3rd and got BC on his horse Marathon Man. All this and Wasch and Berrik and their horses were among the many at Headwaters of the Rouge that had bee trouble. Berrik was stung along with their horses. Then they came across my Stallion trying the pass everyone on the trail after an encounter with the bees himself. He had gotten away from me while I was trying to reposition his saddle after the bees had done a # on us as well. So Wasch led my Stallion, whom, I had never tried to pony before back to camp for me. In the mean time his horse Marathon threw a shoe, and while Wasch was keeping his son's spirits up after the bee attack, holding my Stallion's lead rope with his teeth and his horses reins with his foot, put on an easy boot before contiueing on. With all that He and his son still completed 3rd and 4th and got Senior and Junior BC's. Anyway I just wanted to express my thanks, for their help and congratulations to their family on their many achievements in endurance. They are great atheletes themselves and are a wonderful family, who truely make this a family fun time, and are still able to put their faith and Godly worship first place in their lives.
