[RC] FITS Saturday 50 and win 75 Fri - rides2far@xxxxxxxxDown here at FITS, having a little trouble with network connection but it's up now. I have to top 14 in the 50. There are more in now but I've been struggling with this connection for a while. It's upper 80's HOT, lots of trace clipped hairy horses, very strong sun but a good breeze. I walked out on trail a ways and it's fairly soft. Lots of horses have been through. The front runner horses on the 50 left the last check at a full gallop. Jeremy Olson was in the lead but Tom Hutchinson riding Theatric passed him and finished 8 minutes ahead. However, Theatric had trouble after the ride and did not receive a completion. Tom's time was 3:46 so Jerry's official win time was 3:54 Loops were 20, 15, 15 with 2 50 min. holds. 1st Jeremy Olson 12:26 2nd Cheryl Van Deuson 12:34 3rd Samantha Sandler 12:48 4th Devon Horn 1:33:33 5th paulina Beach 1:33:34 6th Heather Reynolds 1:34 7th Christina Phillips 1:58:26 8th Cia Reese 1:58:30 9th Frank Murphy 2:02:14 10th Connie Caudill 2:15:19 11th Eva De Paulis 2:15:50 12th Lesli Feroglia 2:16:06 13th Lisa Williams 2:16:23 14th Lisa Winburn 2:16:40 I've seen quite a few horses trotting lame, some at vet in. I think the long haul may have taken its toll. There are trailers here from Ohio, Maine, Texas, Iowa and everywhere in between. Bummed riders who have no idea why they have a lame horse. The sun is pretty brutal and I sure wouldn't want to be a heavy coated horse trying to work that deep sand tomorrow. I'm trying to get a read out that includes the horse names but the poor women in the sign up tent are burried in bright red FEI tape. I was amazed just how many forms it took to get Josie signed into the 50 for tomorrow. OK, this was all they could give me right now and couldn't stretch my luck or I'll get thrown out all together: Open AERC 75 miler 1st Bob Gielen BC Melody Blittersdorf High Vet: Vicki Stanislowski Angie ____________________________________________________________ Digital Photography - Click Now. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/BLSrjpTDvmQGXlIUcGT85gaE0GB9s748ZcZToIWtHdQPTnkBGe7HDBJyleI/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
