Re: [RC] My riding buddy choices - Beth LeggieriI lost track of the criteria so these may not qualify, but! Easily:
Either Freya Stark or Gertrude Bell, who found their way through the Mideast desert almost 100 years ago before endurance was cool, "discovered" and mapped this cradle of civilization, befriended the Beds, camped without benefit of LQ rigs, and learned how to make their way in that decidedly male culture. Their biographies are worth reading over and over and expanded my understanding of the Middle East culture. Just spending one day in the saddle with either of them would be my idea of heaven!
Chief Joseph who could teach me something about conditioning.
My childhood friend, Glynda, with whom I spent so many wonderful hours in the saddle who is now sidelined with MS and on a cane. She recently gifted her beloved saddle to me, her 13th birthday present so many years ago. She loved distance riding as a child, we just called it something else back then.
Roy Rogers -- so we could sing Happy Trails all day long.

Easy question, but most of the really good movie stars are up in the range of the sky: Jimmy Stewart and his lovely horse Pie: He could recite his poety to me. Ben Johnson: In the movies all they show are just teasers of how well this guy could ride. So if I got to ride with him I could watch him as much as I wanted. Robert Mitchum: All day on a two-track so I could stare into those eyes of his. Barbara Stanwick: I don't think she'd take any crap from my mare Agnes. Among the living, It's only one star and that would be Viggo Mortenson: The guy loves horses, jazz, art and rides well. He's also easy on my eyes, and is actually older than me.
