Death Valley Encounter on New Year’s

dscf7136 300x225 Death Valley Encounter on New Years

Day 4 Death Valley Encounter

The ride went really well overall.  The weather was just perfect and the trail got better each day of the ride.

I got a lot of photos during the ride and will post them in a couple of days.  We are trying to conserve bandwith here at the ride so the service allotment doesn’t get used up.

Click here for a photo of me and Cheefy from the first day that Steve Bradley took.  I ended up riding him the first two days and then rode Pro Bono the next two days.  Dave R. talked me into it otherwise I probably would have ridden Chief the entire time.  I’m glad that he did that because I really enjoyed riding Bo.  I had excellent rides on both horses.  I always love to ride Chief and after riding Bo yesterday I wanted to ride him a second day to give him a good workout – and he got it – we finished 11th out of around 38 riders today and he does everything right–eats, drinks, pees, stands when I want, changes gaits when I want and is not spooky at all.  He’s an uncomplicated horse that loves his job, we are really starting to bond.  Today was neat because we had a nice new technical singletrack trail up the side of a mountain and that was a blast.  I feel totally safe on Bo and know he won’t spazz out or do something stupid.

The Renegade boots I used on both horses this week worked extremely well.  I have to say that I am pretty impressed with how well they work and how good the horses are doing in them.  I really can’t get over how good Chief’s recoveries have been his week.  Bo too!  It’s been fun.  I figured that the boots would work well because I’ve done plenty of training in them but it’s always nice to see how they work on multiple days and horses.  I had almost glued boots on but then decided that was too much work and as it turned out, I’m glad that I just stuck with the strap on boots.  They have definitely exceeded my expectations.

More later!  Dinner is ready in the clubhouse and the party is about to get started.  Happy New Year everyone!  icon smile Death Valley Encounter on New Years
