Tahoe Rim Trail Ride

Wow!  Will try to write more later and post more photos.  Till then, if you are on FB, check them out there!  I rode Chief today and had a GREAT time with Dave and Jackie (who were on White Cloud and James Dean).  Karen

Riding, riding, riding!

I rode Bo today, maybe 10 to 12 miles with Jackie and her horse Tank.  We had a really great ride.  I still have not managed to find the time to finish writing up about our Tevis adventures. Though, suffice it to say we had a really great ride and since then Bo has been [...]

Been riding!

While I haven’t had anything as exciting happen as occurs in this video, I’ve been busy and look forward to catching up next week!

Endurance horses are going the distance without nailed on shoes!

Check this out, 7 of the top 10 horses in the AERC National Mileage Championship are competing in hoof boots and are NOT using nailed on shoes for hoof protection! My two horses are both in the standings – Chief is 4th with 970 miles and Bo is 7th with 750 miles- though Bo now [...]

On the trail of the pony express!

On the trail of the Pony Express. The express mail service lasted less than two years, but its lore lives on in a trail blazed across the West. The trip today offers intrigue and glimpses into history.  Click here to read the rest of this LA Times article!

Bar H ride coming up

I think the horses like their new haircuts! It has been nice enough to take their blankets off during the day. Tomorrow we are heading to Perris, CA for the Bar H ride where the horses will get to enjoy sunny and 70′ish degree weather. It looks like there will be a good turnout for [...]

The Twenty Eleven Ride, Part 6

Anybody planning on going on the 2011 XP ride should read this (click on link below) to get an idea of what to expect.  Also, because this stuff is a decade old take it with a grain of salt and realize that while some of it still applies there may be parts that don’t.  I’m [...]

This was the 2nd of 3 articles I wrote for Endurance News following the 2001 XP. XP’loring the Trail, 2000 Miles of Memories.  Be sure to click on the link to read the entire thing!  If you want to read my diary from the ride and see photos from all 8 weeks, click here.  Karen [...]

Here are a couple more photos of Dave. These were taken by Steve Bradley. The first photo is of Dave and Dave at the AERC awards. The other photo was taken at the Eastern Mojave Scenic ride last weekend. Dave is riding White Cloud.

2010 AERC Hall of Fame Rider: Dave Rabe!

Congratulations to Dave for receiving the AERC Hall of Fame award at the convention Saturday night!  It was great getting to see Dave receive the recognition for all that he does. Dave does a lot to contribute to the sport of endurance riding in so many ways. He is always helping with rides both before [...]

Rides coming up

Been busy so haven’t had time to post much lately.  Leaving in the a.m. to go down to Mountain Pass to help get the trail marked for the Eastern Mojave Scenic ride which starts next Friday. The ride is four days this year, Friday through Monday.  50 miles each day.  I’m bringing Chief and Bo [...]

Products with multiple uses – duct tape, hay string, etc.

Endurance riders are usually pretty resourceful when it comes to figuring out how to get stuff to work.  Or when we need to fix something.  Most of us could easily make a top ten list of things we’ve fixed using duct tape, hay string or bailing wire.  Recently I ran across some information on WD-40 [...]

I made some new headers; website updates for Sunrise Ranch; kitchen remodel getting closer too!

Been getting a lot done this week though not as much as I would have liked.  I did a bunch of updates on the sunriseranchrides.com website.  From looking at it you probably won’t notice.  Where it’s going to be noticed is on the back end when we receive the ride entries they are now going [...]
