Though I do not aspire to
even attempt imagine to attempt a ride time like this, I have to say that MONK is "the man" or in this case "the horse". And anyone that can train a horse to run a heart rate < or = 140 bpm while on the last loop of a 100 mile ride while running 18.5 mph is doing something right. In Monk's case he is like the perfect storm. One of those once in a lifetime horses. He now holds the record in North America for the fastest 100 mile ride time at 6:53. Yes, a 100 miles in less than seven hours. Place me firmly among the Monk groupies...I may need a TEAM MONK t-shirt.

And while I'm on that topic did you read the article written by Julie Suhr in the new issue of the EN's? She in her eighties rode along to sponsor a junior. It was a very lovely and feel good article and also good to hear that Julie is "still at it." I say never, ever, ever...grow up. Just keep having fun with your horses. Julie is an amazing woman. ~ E.G.
