[RC] Big Horn/Tevis/Woodstock - shermanTitle: MessageIMO, the only danger
in Tevis is the deadly drop offs. Everything else in the ride are challenges.
One mis-step on the cliffs though, and it can mean injury or death to both horse
and rider. We all ride for our own reasons and you are the first I've
known to say they ride for the danger.
I know a few riders
bring extra horses (no one I know has), and you may have been surrounded with
riders who did, but what I hear more often is that out of the three someone
was conditioning for Tevis, only one (often the back-up horse) ends up
healthy and sound. I think only a small percentage of riders have the luxury of
bringing extra horses.
Regarding the
buckle, I just heard someone had their buckle made into a wide wristband. I
didn't see it though.

Well
now you can say you know at least ONE person who does the Tevis ride BECAUSE of
the dangers not, "in spite them" and I really don't feel I'm alone in that.
Take
away all those challenges and dangers and you've just got another pretty ride in
the mountains. As for bringing extra horses, I was just going on my personal
experience from the several people who were camping around me this year who
brought spare horses as well as in
2007.
