I don't think anyone's endurance is good in 99 degrees. Your body is too tired trying to cool itself off. Give Sully and Lilly a pat and a treat for me. I know sometime you wanted to test how Sully would do outside of a ring with Lilly. If you want a second rider sometime let me know. I can come ride Lilly while your on Sully (notice which one I chose :)). Comparing Lilly to Kerry I think my saddle might be alright on her. Stay cool!

I rode sully the other day when it was 99 degrees and extremely humid and it was 5:00 pm!! Not smart but I didn't have any other time. I was dizzy after an hour of hard riding and sully was dripping sweat and panting. I was worried about him and worried about me! My entire body was like jelly. For some reason I have found that in hot weather my endurance is not as good. Luckily sully is in good shape and cooled down pretty quickly. I hosed him for 30 minutes, scraping and hosing, etc. It took me a little longer :)
