I have been playing on the internet at school and have tried to post a message many times. Hope it makes it! I am an old endurance rider (started by riding Tevis at 17 in 1972.) Made it 10 times just in time because as a result of fighting metastatic cancer sooo hard the last 7 yrs, I haven't been riding much.But my attitude is different after coming back from my 5th lung surgery. I think I have a chance for it to be in remission this time and am riding on the weekends and teaching 29 Kindergarteners during the week. I feel better than I have after all the other surgeries, so maybe something's going right for me??? I NEED to get back on the trail. I can go 2 miles on a hot horse so far without having wobbily legs, a big improvement! Write me back if youwill, old and new friends! I miss the comraderie so much! Love, Barbie
