[RC] Hog Wild day 1 - 50's

On Behalf Of Tammy Robinson

I want to thank everyone that attended this years ride. We thought things
went very well this year. A very BIG "Thank You" to all of my volunteers
this year. We would never be able to ever have this ride if it wasn't for
them.

T he weather was great and the trails ended up in good condition due to
this years rains. Wild Flowers and green grass everywhere. It has taken 4
years now and I do feel that we finally have it down. Every year we learn
something to do it better for next years ride. If you have any in put on
this subject, please feel free to email us. Please don't ask for us to
remove hills. Just can't move mountains yet :)

Any Volunteers, or riders that didn't get their T-Shirts please let us know.
We didn't have any Jr riders in the 50 miler this year so we have decided to
give the 1st Jr. Polar Fleece Blanket to the 1st Jr in the 35 miler. We did
the same on day 2 and you should have seen the smile on that little girls
face!

[RC] Gastric Ulcer Study

On Behalf Of Michele Roush Shaw

I would like to publickly thank Dr. Barney and Linda Fleming for all their
time and effort in putting together their tour around the country doing
endoscopy on our horses to look for gastric ulcers. It seems to me to be a
bit of a thankless job, and a lot of driving!

Thank you, also, to the people who participated and had their horses scoped.
Kudos to you for wanting to know more about what goes on inside your horses.
I would like to add that there is no shame or embarrassment involved in
learning that your horse has ulcers, and that it should not be construed as
a reflection upon you as a horse manager. The shame should come from
sticking your head in the sand and not wanting to know whether your horse
has ulcers or not.

I would encourage people to take advantage of the opportunity to look at
your horse's stomach, should that opportunity arise. It is better to make
informed decisions.

[RC] Seabiscuit movie starring Shirley Temple

On Behalf Of joan

I just this week watched "Seabiscuit, the movie" (I believe that's
what it's called) on one of the classic movie channels. It stars
Shirley Temple, the love interest of Tim Knowles. It's a great movie
that even shows some actual race footage. Check your cable listings.

FEI OPEN EUROPEAN ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS CONFIRMED FOR IRELAND

Following the conclusion of successful discussions with both sponsors and
the FEI, the International Sport Horse Show has now confirmed that they will
indeed be organising this year?s FEI Open European Endurance Championships
which will be held at Punchestown (Ireland) in conjunction with the European
Eventing Championship. It will be the first time that the Europeans of the
disciplines of Endurance and Eventing are organised together.

The Endurance Championship will take place on Sunday 21 September 2003 and,
subject to agreement from the FEI Bureau and Endurance Committee, it will be
run as a one day event run over a 160 kilometres course in the picturesque
Wicklow Hills.

Over 100 competitors from up to 25 countries are expected to take part in
what promises to be an historic event in which the course will be routed
through the beautiful valleys and hills of Kildare and Wicklow. In a novel
and innovative site design, the main Vet Gate at Punchestown will be located
beside the Main Arena where, on the Sunday whilst the Endurance
Championships are in progress, the top eventers will be fighting for the
final places in the show jumping phase of the European Eventing
Championship.

The European Eventing Championships return to historic Punchestown after a
gap of 12 years. Sponsored in a joint Public / Private partnership by Bord
Fàilte, the Irish Tourist Board through the International Sports Tourism
Initiative, and IFG Group plc, one of Ireland?s leading companies in the
growing financial services sector, the championship that will take place
from 18 to 21 September, is expected to attract large numbers of overseas
visitors to Ireland in mid September.

The Punchestown site, which has recently undergone a major ?20m
refurbishment, will have a course specially designed for the Eventing
Championships by the Irish course designer Tommy Brennan

Booking both tickets and accommodation can all be done on the International
Sport Horse Show?s web site at www.sporthorseshow.com

this week and close on 15th May.
