I'll always remember what Kathy Arnold (Ray) told me shortly after she won
the 1986 ROC on Easter Charm. Her husband had reached up to give her a hug
at the finish line and Easter spooked and nearly dumped her. Kathy said
the quirky ones with a mind of thier own are the best for endurance,
because they will never loose their drive.
I love to ride those sweet geldings too, but give me a bitchy mare to
compete on. They never tire and you'll never become a complacent rider.
