[RC] [Endurance Tracks] Skymont - Steph TeeterGorgeous fall colors, cool temps. Cold in the AM, sunny but stayed coolwith a fairly sharp breeze all day. We never touched a sponge and practically every horse there walked directly into the vet box after the fairly long walk from the arrival timer. Josie said "lots of tripping" with the leaves covering the ample rocks, could account for lameness pulls. A few riders missed turns and had to go for completion only. Trail was well marked *and* there were x's on plates if you passed the turn, but if you did miss the well marked turn there was the opportunity to accidentally take a shortcut. Larry Jordan is such a nice guy and works really hard to put on this ride...and only the Boy Scouts profit, so it's a labor of love on his part. Grabbed my pen & a napkin when they started reading the results off last night. Started a little late, don't have much on the 25. 47 started 39 finished. All I remembered on the top names was maybe a Carol Walker & Liz Galloway. I underlined Melissa Hamilton...don't know if that meant BC or what. Did better on the 50's, started writing as they called them out. 36 started 24 finished. A few of those were riders quitting for their own sake. Seemed like quite a few mentioned that they'd brought their green horse they were starting, etc. This is how I HEARD it so sorry if I got names wrong. 1st (tie) Kara Disbrow & Gooby 5:38 Ed Kidd & Merlin 3rd.

It did have on a bright purple blanket so hopefully they were able to find it. Angie McGhee -- Posted By Steph Teeter to Endurance Tracks at 11/04/2007 06:47:00 PM
