Riders are shown in the order they came along the trail. 

Please let me know if you can identify any of these anonymous riders (so much for my cunning plan of being able to read the butt numbers off the horses in the photos)

Jul15233.jpg (38030 bytes) Frank Solano and Ranger (Gering, NE)

Frank and Ranger had an interesting experience at Cougar's Rock when Ranger's feet slipped out from under him, causing both to tumble to the bottom. Ranger was unscathed, where Frank ended up being a little smooshed. After this, they spent 45 minutes sorting themselves out, which then meant they were running late, and by the time they got to Michigan Bluff the whole thing caught up with them and sadly Ranger was pulled. Frank was very good humoured about the whole event and I hope to see him and Ranger back again next year.
