Tevis99 Tack Survey

[Nat & Richard <trailride@foothill.net>]

For the first time, and in response to widespread interest on the part of past,
present and would-be Tevis riders, the Tevis Ride organization would like to
conduct a Tack Survey on Ride Weekend.

In order to gather these statistics, we need at least two volunteers who will
positively be at Robie Park on Friday, July 23, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and
can give this effort their undivided attention.

In order to assure gapless coverage, the volunteers would take turns standing
with clipboard and pen at the exit gate of the Vet-In area.  Data to be
collected would roughly be like this...

Rider# RiderName    SaddleType SaddleBrand  BitType        FrontShoes  RearShoes 
 998   Susie Queue  Aussie     Sid Hill     rope hacamore  Easyboots   pads
 999   Freddy Free  Western    Goodoleboy   snaffle        standard    standard
 etc   etc          etc

Also, there would be space to collect "notes of interest," such as type of
bridle, use of a crupper, etc.

I will devise collection forms that are pre-printed with the Rider Number, Name,
etc. I will also compile the results after Ride Weekend into a web page and will
post the results in text form on Ridecamp.  A draft web page is at,

If you would like to participate, or if you have suggestions for additional
information that could/should be collected, please contact me ASAP.
