I am sorry you were called an idiot. It is my understanding, however limited, that the guy who rode the horse was NOT the guy who rode GSFHR, and this was a different horse. The link appears to be Tina Jordan. I had a personal experience with this woman when I offered to show her and her "business partner" J Allen the Tevis trail before next year's ride.
She sent me a scathing email, having taken my offer as a put down some way because she did not understand the term "self-contained" or "in a fenced pasture" in relation to how their horses would be housed while staying either with me or my boyfriend. I was trying to offer some help. This was, of course before I ever heard of the Mariposa incident.
I sure hate to think these folks will attempt Tevis on QH's (or any horse for that matter, considering their level of experience) without seeing the trail first. Those of you who have ridden the trail will likely agree that the infamous "canyons" are nothing to encounter 50 miles into a 100 mile ride without advance notice. Maybe they will chose to do the Educational Ride if it is held next year?
Anyway, this is the sandbox we have created, and chose to play in...let's be nice!

well, it has been a while since i was called an idoit. Should I reply. Or am not reading the same e mails and posts to RC? Was this guy hard on his horse at Mariposa or not? Was he out of bounds regarding his treatment of his horse? Did his horse do the so called miles for the GSFHR?
thanks

I have called Chino animal control, local sheriff's department, and filed a compliant re this guy. also ASPCA is followoing the RC posts and will be in touch with some one.
My very good friend who has heard about this is also following this on ride camp and I can guarantee that if this gut is not sanctioned by AERC and
punished some way she WILL call PETA on all of us.. I can not control her and she found out because her husband is a newbie and was going the Git r done.
She will take of business.
