We saw it a few years ago (2-3), but were somewhat disgusted.  You saw Boyd 
and Potato Richardson going up Cougar Rock and Boyd falling off the horse at 
the top.  It was the phoniest trick; one could tell that he didn't REALLY 
fall off, it was a put-on.  I felt it demeaned our sport.  I saw only the 
portion of the Today Show during which Katy Couric was running all around the 
Astro-turf trying to dodge the horse's hindquarters and making stupid 
comments about horse-poop and Immodium, etc.  Again, very demeaning, but I 
guess one has to realize how far from reality some of the world has advanced. 
 In some ways, it's frightening.
