The real spongin' prize

[rides2far@juno.com (Angela C. McGhee)]

Lynda,

You are obviously in the wrong sport if you would take a shabby $125,000
+perks over a trophy with a sponge in hand.  We endurance riders ride for
the glory and bragging rights...not monetary gain.  Being in Texas,
perhaps you'd like to start hanging out with the free-style reiners where
your creative outfits could involve more sequins which might chafe after
49 miles...(the legal distance  you know) 

I know you'll secretly be green with envy when you read the following
post from Liz in Massachusetts.  Try to contain yourself.  I think it's a
wonderful idea and am planning a trip to the fabric store for some
taffeta and glitter paint.
