Re: [RC] Riders with the most completed 100 mile rides since 1996 - - Dabney Finch

Angie said " I remember him riding Finally at the back of a line of horses..."

Been there, with Suzy Kelly--will never forget meeting her for a long uphill climb training ride. She was ponying her filly Image, one of her homebred babies, off the lead, so we all got a good look at her.

I distinctly rember thinking "oh, even Suzy won't be able to make this poor tiny skinny filly into anything!)

HA!

AFter Suzy sold her for a measley amount ($ not what it's about for her--so a great place to get some awesome endurance horses), Image went on to be top 5 in Tevis under a guy (was that you Steve Shaw?)...and she got lots of other top 5 placings as well. Seriously when I first saw her I wouldn't have bought that mare for 50 cents.

I LOVE it when I'm wrong like that!!


that appeared to be babysitting him when he was young and thought he
looked like a fat pony. He told me he'd raised him after owning his dam &
sire and I thought, "well, he's messed up being attached to that one

Impressive as this is, as an "amateur" endurance rider, I personally
would be most interested in the trivia of "What horse and rider have
 completed the most 100 mile rides over their career together?"

Don't know who that is, but will say that Steve Rojek wouldn't disappoint
you in that area either. :-) He has bred several of his own horses
(Smokerise Finally for one) and owned I believe more than one
generation...started them slowly, and then takes them to the highest
levels.> because it's not his level of competitor". Ha. Ha. Top 5 Pan Ams, etc.
etc. That horse is BIG now. :-)
