Yeah, it is like tripping into the Twilight Zone. I am lost without the over 40 dialog. For a while I couldn't even find the thread listed under Horse Talk.
I'm glad you started a new one...I hope that we can get back the old one as well, but maybe not. I was wondering if maybe there was some maximum number of responses or perhaps a maximum file size and that the thread had exceeded that maximum...maybe a moderator can tell us what happened.
If the thread is truly gone, what a shame.
Much was expressed here in our little forum family.
I hope everyone catches this I think I made the title the same.
Whew, I found you guys! I panicked for a few minutes! I sent out a bunch of friend requests, just so I wouldn't loose everyone. I wonder if we hit the maximum number of posts or something.
I just searched the entire forum. I even searched removed messages and could not find it anywhere. I've reported the thread in the TTTT section so that our tech folks can check it out. I do not believe it was removed by the horse forum. I hope a Gremlin didn't eat it!
I am headed to the SS office first thing tomorrow. I can no longer work from that PTSD!!! Lol....
Dawn, in case you didn't get my message.....
My friend Dawn did Tevis a few years ago, and had some strange things happen to her, also. I am proud of the way you took care of Sultan!!
Dawn, we are behind you 100%. Everyone was checking into the webcast frequently, and I even had folks watching at work that had never even sat on a horse before!!
It was the coolest thing ever! Such fun watching the posts come up as you achieved each checkpoint. Thrilling to feel a part of such an exciting event. WOW. You are an awesome rider and competitor!!
I am really thrilled that you were able to go and I can't wait to see the video of Tevis!!!
Don't know if we'll ever see the old thread again, but there were a ton of encouraging posts on it for you and all your buddies.
When I saw your happy grin in that RS shirt it brought tears to my eyes. What an honor that you would wear that shirt proudly for all the world to see. You are one very special lady, and I am honored to know you.
Praying you and Sultan & buddies have a safe trip home.
I logged on when I came back to work. Couldn't find the thread. Thanks MR for starting this one over. That's what I intended to do. Strangely enough, all the "likes" from the thread also disappeared in our list of notifications.
We are truly a community, I couldn't imagine going without all of you. Isn't it a bit crazy to be so dependant on a virtual community?
If the thread was becoming too big, they could have removed half and leave the rest.
I'll miss the ones we lost for different reasons over the years. I felt we were still keeping them along with us, with their past contribution still available. Now gone? Country Girl who started the whole thing and dropped by to say hello and nothing else. CCG of course, Northern Star that I really miss (if anyone knows her name or mail, please share in PM).
Thank you guys so much.. it literally reduced me to tears. I feel like I let everyone, and most especially Sultan, down.
I actually had a huge, long 3-post story written about my week and posted it this morning.. so maybe I broke the thread.
And maybe that is the universe's way of telling me to shut up and get over it.. because my Tevis experience is one I will never forget.. and mostly in a negative way. I tried to downplay the negative that went on before the ride in the hopes things would work out.. but as always, the gut knows. And I knew on Sunday when I arrived we likely wouldn't finish.
If you are interested, I may try to re-post the saga later. Meanwhile, the universe sent me a consolation prize in the form of some breathtaking pictures. I have a ton to scan, but took a quick pic with my phone of these:
Sultan went up and over Cougar Rock like nobody's business.
I'm here! I can't believe the thread is gone! I haven't been here long but I love it. :loveshower:
Ph13 I did see your post about how the ride went and you have EVERY right to be ****** and upset! You did a fantastic job pulling things together, I'm sure I wouldn't have even made the ride. You and Sultan had an amazing ride, he must be quite the trooper with a lot of heart. Be proud of how you did and know that next time you will finish strongly! You did what was right for your horse and that is much more important than finishing!
OMG Cougar Rock! :loveshower:
PH, I don't know what happened and maybe you can share when you feel like it. But you certainly didn't let anyone down. You showed up and did your best and THAT is AWESOME. Certainly didn't let Sultan down, he doesn't know or care about the distance he did, only that you were there with him. We had so much fun following you, you can't begin to imagine how we all got infected with the Tevis Bug.
I hope you can look back and see some good in your experience.
Have a safe trip back and hug to Sultan and you. You are still my hero!:hug:
