Sylvia:  In my experience, nothing out there equates to the excitement of 
doing the Tevis.  I think  people are differently suited to the various 
distances and events.  I'll do a 100, and think that's the best thing on 
earth.  Then I go do a multiday, and nope, the multiday is the 
best!  <g>  Plus, some horses are more suited to one than the other and 
therefore to the rider it might 'seem' like one particular ride is 
easier.  I've been having a ball this year riding my horse Rocky on nearly 
all of the rides I rode Weaver on last year, and it's kinda fun being able 
to see their differences and at what each one is strongest at, etc.

I once asked Trilby about doing the Tevis.  She said it is her favorite 
100, and the only 100 she'll do.  Funny how she seems to get thru any 
multiday without trouble, but goes over time at Tevis.

Happy Trails,

Karen
& Weaver
& Rocky....both with 1 Tevis Buckle
       & 1370 miles/99 season ;-)
