To me the sad thing about that show was I couldn't watch the judging as I have never been in cold like this and I don't get to many nationals anymore as I am a white knuckle flier. I heard one lady say she was from Alaska and had never been that cold there. Other wise it was a beautiful place, enjoyed seeing where Man O War was buried and the other great horses. I still have the tee shirt that says "I survived the 96 National" Nancy G. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
