The horses are all looking good. I’ve been letting Chief and Bo into the pasture for an hour or two a day to graze. Rocky gets a little bit of extra grass hay so he doesn’t feel left out. He’s not allowed to graze right now but I may allow him in later on once [...]

I have a page on the main enduranceridestuff.com website that is on the topic of worming horses: http://enduranceridestuff.com/HorseWormingInfo.html I will go ahead and copy that info here so that it will be easier for people to find. I get a lot of questions about this. One of the most commonly asked questions relating to the [...] Here are photos along with a short update on the American River Ride from Bob Sydnor: “Here are a few photographs from this difficult ride, which was won by 17-year old Rachel Shackleford. Rachel became the first winner of the Barsaleau Cup, for the Pioneer Award for the 70-mile ride within the American River Classic. [...] My favorite endurance ride that is still going right now is the Fort Schellbourne 5 day XP ride. Schellbourne is located in Eastern Nevada in the West Region 35 miles north of Ely. I like Schellbourne (also known as the June XP) because it is remote and in rugged country that is not what most [...] The basic idea behind interval training is to enable the horse to experience more intense work over several short periods of activity than would be possible if the work was carried out in one block. So the horse is given periods of activity interspaced with rest periods, and each period of activity can vary from [...] I just took this photo along with some others of the horses this afternoon. I need to undo the braids in Chief’s mane before he starts damaging them. Notice the two shorter ones midway down his neck? He had rubbed nearly all of his hair (last summer perhaps) off there rubbing and itching himself on [...] Here are a few photos from the ride this weekend. You can see that we rode through a lot of snow and mud. I only made the first 35 miles on the first day. Chief and I were having a really great ride and everything was going well. He was his usual self and felt [...] Heading off tomorrow morning for the High Desert ride near Fallon, NV. I’m taking Chief. I decided to let Bo have the weekend off since he did two days last weekend at Color Country and a day at the Nevada Derby the weekend before. I don’t want to over-do it with him. Bo is really [...] There are some Trail Trails coming up in Northern Nevada. What fun! Here is a description on what a Trail Trials is from the NASTR entry form: Trail Trials have become a popular event in many areas. They are not new, just getting more well known. They consist of a trail ride, usually averaging between [...] We have mountain lions here in the Pinenut mountain range where I live and ride. I’ve encountered them on a few occasions over the years and have seen their tracks often. Usually they are far away or running for cover and the sighting is brief. I remember riding once on Weaver years ago and we [...] I took these photos after finishing the 50 on Granite Chief this last Saturday at Color Country. Of course, I knew he would roll – that is about as predictable as the sun setting each day. He at least doesn’t roll with his tack on (anymore, lol) like Bo did at lunch the first day [...] I have a large album posted with photos from all three days of the Color Country ride. I’ve selected a few photos and put them here as well. If you want to see all of them click here! I rode Bo on days 1 and 3 and Chief on day 2. The middle day was [...] |
