Thanks for remembering Modellen, Marcy. He was a great horse. We did two
three day 100 Competitive Trail Drives, and a 50. He was the first stallion
to do the 100, as well as the first Fjord. We didn't win, but we did
complete both years. On another occasion, a woman named Kim Keller, who
lived at our farm at the time, and who weighed way too much but was
elegantly graceful on a horse, borrowed Modellen for a 25 mile ride,
competing with many veterans. Kim had never done the event before, and
relied on some prior coaching from me. Despite any disadvantage, she came
in second of 47. Modellen was an awesome horse, and very fit at that time.
I may have told this story before.... I guess I am still impressed.
