Tevis ride on PBS

[Jack_Weaver@cc.chiron.com]

     In July I posted a note stating that a PBS documentary had been filmed 
     at the Tevis ride featuring Bob Marx and Monty from Danville, CA during 
     their 6th Tevis ride (and 5th completion).  This will be broadcast as 
     about a 15 minute segment of a 1 hour PBS program called California 
     Heartland featuring California horsepersons and activities. The 
     broadcast schedule for the San Francisco bay area is KQED channel 9 
     (PBS) on Saturday Nov. 14 at 3:00 PM local time.  It should be fun.  
     During filming, the director seemed to be very interested in the 
     partnership aspect of the sport with interview questions about how 
     rider and horse are doing, anxieties and worries, meeting cutoff times, 
     finishing, etc.
     
     On another subject.......
     My wife, Judy and I had the pleasure of serving as ride volunteers for 
     the first time at the Diablo Vista Ride last week end.  Boy, did we 
     learn a lot doing P & R and vet secretary work all day!  What a great 
     way to learn.  The vets, especially Mike, Cory and Jamie were very 
     helpful in pointing out and discussing all kinds of stuff to us.  Cory 
     spent 5-10 minutes with a rider and horse (names forgotten) and several 
     of us observing and discussing early stages of thumps.  I highly 
     recommend this to everyone.
