Congrats on your ride, and bummer about your ankle. I remember you mentioning this on a comment on my blog and it was nice to finally read the entire story. I'm having a hard time finding my mojo for endurance lately. And I'm hoping I'm tough enough like you to get my 100 done in a couple of weeks. Nice to hear that Major hasn't mellowed any.....**snickersnort** I guess he's always going to be Major! - MelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-60691916105289058072019-10-11T15:21:10.294-07:002019-10-11T15:21:10.294-07:00Eek, sorry Robin, met too many people and am bad w...Eek, sorry Robin, met too many people and am bad with names! 8-)<br /><br />So nice to meet you, and glad your ride was safe (smart!), even if not what you'd hoped for!

I spent a half hour on foot looking for his brain- finally pulled as overtime so didn't have to finish (or not) in the dark...<br /><br />Good job on your completion.

I'm sorry you had a bad time, I am usually actually grateful that Major's antics only involve wanting to go fast (no airs above the ground).irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-83957749197029901872019-10-08T07:33:51.301-07:002019-10-08T07:33:51.301-07:00I think your multi-day trip was more exhausting!

My ride involved my horse rearing and flipping over one mile in, kicking another horse, and bucking at the TROT for no reason. Oh yeah and my stirrup came off my saddle and my horse STRUCK AT THE VET!!! I was PRAYING he'd be lame at the first hold, but no such luck... we went back out. I have also sworn off endurance -_- Sorry this is how your ride went. The scenery is beautiful at least (I got to stare at sand and pine trees for 30 miles of hell).Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-33749914716436413402019-10-07T17:39:17.841-07:002019-10-07T17:39:17.841-07:00arrghhhh, I feel your pain...except, no, actually ...arrghhhh, I feel your pain...except, no, actually I'm sore in completely different parts of my body.<br /><br />But I do empathize!
