The AERC office got the results online today from the Grand Canyon ride – so now it’s official – Chief has his 9,000 miles! Actually, he’s at 9,075.
It’s kind of hard to believe. I dunno – like maybe it’s not real? Where did the time go? Just how did we rack up that many miles [...]

This cartoon is great. So many endurance riders are experts and finding excuses for whatever is wrong with their horse. It can’t ever be their fault that something is wrong with their horse. I regularly winterize my trailer after each trip during a large part of the year due to the climate I live in. Which means that I winterize my trailer after every trip between now (late October) through May. I can’t count on there not being any hard freezes so it’s better to be [...] We have our fingers crossed that the surgery Chief had on his eyelid today will be the final one, and that it will heal appropriately. I love having custom ringtones on my cell phone. It’s really kind of cool to have a special ringtone for different people so that you can immediately identify who is calling. There are so many places to get ringtones, either free or by purchasing them. It’s also easy to make them yourself, [...] and this…is what it looked like before the mud… I took this photo at the 15 mile vetcheck on day 1 at High Desert this last weekend. The High Desert endurance ride this year was especially colorful. The fall colors were really nice this year – we rode through tons of yellow and orange cottonwoods. What a great ride! I started my photo albums from the Grand Canyon ride with the middle day – because that’s the day Chief reached 9,000 lifetime miles . It seems like I was just starting him. My how time flies. He has really been a nice horse for me. Here is a list of the XP Medal horses for 2009. I always find these kinds of research projects interesting. I know they were doing more this year at the Tevis. This one just came out in PubMed. I thought it worth noting that horses that colicked had a lower PVC (which means they were more dehydrated) than horses with poor recovery. The one time Chief [...] It’s always good to get back home after a long ride. Yet, it’s also kind of sad that it’s over already. It seems like the multidays just fly by sometimes and this one was no exception. I always like riding at the Grand Canyon even in the years when the weather doesn’t cooperate. This year [...] Made it home from the Grand Canyon – hard to believe that I was riding on the rim just yesterday, and now I’m 670 miles away back at home! |
