Hey, Roger......thanks for tellling it like it IS!!!!!!!! And thanks to
Susan for again putting on.....what can I say that isn't expressed in the
name?.......the RACE OF CHAMPIONS!

And thanks very much to Jan Worthington for leasing me the magnificent FARI,
the 16 year old wonder on whom I immediately felt right at home. What a guy!

It was a real pleasure to camp/ride/schmooze with Jan and Grace and their
gang. Albert Dollinger, from Switzerland, was a fantastic rider and true
gentleman (not a word of bitching and moaning when his leased horse was
pulled.....he just pitched in to crew for the rest of us) The trails really
were spectacularly beautiful, tough, but not dangerous, very well marked,
with more friendly volunteers than I have ever seen at any one event anywhere.

My most fond memory of the weekend was watching Steve Rojek warm up on Hawk
by performing true dressage while the rest of us were trotting around in
circles. Hawk was suppled with transitions between collection and
extension, shoulders and haunches in, tempi changes,...........all the while
with Hawk looking relaxed and forward, gaily swinging his back as he danced
with his partner. I also wish him a speedy recovery.
