Melissa, Christoph was thinking of signing up for this race, before they 
left last Saturday.  I don't know if he will, I'm sure they're going to 
check it out, but as of Friday when I was there getting boots put back 
on Khid for this weekend's ride, he was thinking of entering...

Hey Carla, It was good seeing you at Strawberry Fields Forever, you hard 
core tent camper you! It took me the entire following day just to 
recover from the one evening with the big three C's,...Carla, Crockett & 
Cuervo! I rode the whole next day under the influence of Maalox and 
aspirin. Damn Girl, you rode all three days in the rain and mud too. I 
talked with Christoph a little about the Mongolia trip when we were at 
S.F.F.and at that time he was just concentrating on Tevis, Nationals and 
possibly joining me in Australia for the Quilty. He would be one of the 
only people I can think of who would be prepared enough, experienced 
enough, light enough, tough enough, & be willing to RUN more than ride 
and know enough about horse physiology that I would absolutely cheer him 
on right to the finish line of the Mongolian Rally and feel he wouldn't 
kill  a horse in the process. He'd be the first to tell you though that 
it has even happened to HIM where one of his top quality, well 
conditioned, high mileage horses has died at an AERC ride. And that man 
spends more time running and tailing behind a horse than anyone I've 
ever met in order to save his horse. If this ride goes through, and he's 
in it, he'll probably be the one rider with the best chance to prove it 
can be done in the safest way for the horse. Sorry I wont see you at 
Tevis. Cabo is on "pasture rest" till then so we wont be doing the 
Shamrock or Horse Park rides. We'll stop at Christoph's for a new horse 
pedicure for Cabo then caravan together out to Auburn. Give Khid a 
carrot for us and we'll probably see you at the Ducks Grand Canyon XP next.
I have always ended my emails with the quote:
"If you're not livin on the edge, yer takin up too much space!" But 
after this long and controversial Mongolian thread, I think I'll just say,
Happy Trails
Melissa Margetts
