Chief at High Desert, October 2008 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 very fit right now and since he’s entered in Tevis I’m going Continue reading High Desert & My Horse Should be in Hoof Boot Sales! 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 1 and 2 hours, with trail-type obstacles along the way. Obstacles are natural or unnatural, but are items occasionally Continue reading Trail Trials in Northern Nevada 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 were walking along through the pinion pines winding our way up a steep climb and all of the a Continue reading What to do if you encounter a mountain lion The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed. var so22_1 = { params : { wmode : “opaque”, allowfullscreen : “true”, bgcolor : “#000000″}, flashvars : { file : “http%3A%2F%2Fenduranceridestuff.com%2Fblog%2Findex.php%3Fcallback%3Dimagerotator%26gid%3D22″, showicons : “false”, overstretch : “true”, rotatetime : “4″, backcolor : “0×000000″, frontcolor : “0xFFFFFF”, lightcolor : “0xCC0000″, width : “640″, height : “480″}, attr : { styleclass : “slideshow”, name : “so22″}, start : function() { swfobject.embedSWF(“http://enduranceridestuff.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/imagerotator.swf”, “so22_1″, “640″, Continue reading My fleabitten grey horse secretly wants to be a color!

I had a fantastic time and the weather was really nice during the entire event. My horses also did very well though Bo started to develop scratches on his three feet that have white hair – not bad and not enough to make him lame but it is something I need to watch Continue reading Color Country Was Awesome! This is one happy horse – he did a 50, ate then rolled and got to pee in his hay! Woke up to rain and tacked up Chief. We rode the first half of the ride with cloudcover but mostly dry. Only a few muddy and slick sections up on top of the plateau that we climbed up. Chief negotiated it all like a pro – he should, he’s done this Continue reading Second Day of Color Country The weather has been holding out for us and has been really just perfect. I finished around 4:30 this afternoon on Bo. He did pretty well today and I rode most of the day with Kerry and Dave. Kerry had me work with Bo and get him to walk (versus jig) — he was doing really well and now I need to keep with it and not allow him to get away with jigging. Continue reading Day 1 of Color Country The weather today in camp is gorgeous. We got in yesterday morning just fine. We had a small front blow through yesterday afternoon and evening but it turned out to be pretty mild. It sure made for a spectacular sunset though. Breathtaking! I put up a couple of photos of the scenery from camp. Steve and Cindy saved me a spot and I was fortunate enough to be able to use the large corral Continue reading Color Country Endurance Ride – Day Before Chief and Bo having a break during a travel day to an endurance ride What a travel day we have had. Met up with Dave Rabe in Yerington. He went to McD’s and I to Subway – just as I was about to pull out —eeeeek — a FLAT TIRE on my trailer! Dang! So we wasted another almost half hour changing that. Grrrrr. Driving on we encountered a storm. Thought we’d be Continue reading Getting to the ride IS the toughest part, sometimes |
