If you ride in any kind of hoof boot you already know that they require a certain amount of work to maintain them. That amount of work depends on the type of boot and how often you ride in it and how hard or easy your horse is on your boots. It’s no different than [...]

This year was the 25th anniversary of one of the most popular rides in the West region. This ride is very popular for good reason too – it’s in incredibly beautiful country (the Sierra’s) plus it’s got a lot of fun technical trails. The 50 mile ride consists of two loops. The first one is [...] I took Bo out for a ride yesterday evening to do a final check on our tack and hoof boots. The first photo is of Bo just before we left to head out for the trail. I think everything is good to go – after our ride I put most of the tack in the [...] It took me awhile to get these posted, because I had to go through a lot of photos. I have narrowed them down to only 265 in the album. There are a lot of photos here – from all four days of the ride plus trail marking and trail work. Rider photos were taken by [...] Does it look like we are having fun? Steve Bradley always gets the best photos! Yesterday I started writing about the 100 at Owyhee Fandango but only got as far as getting ready for the ride…. So now let’s start at the beginning of the ride itself! I gave myself an hour to get ready, [...] This is just the pre-ride prep stuff…I’ll get to the actual “ride” writeup tomorrow! Till then, I did at least get an album up with more than 100 photos so you can see what the trail was like – beautiful ride! After riding Chief in the 50 on Friday I had to really fight the [...] This was my third time going to Hell’s Kitchen Canyon and Bruce Burnham (RM) thought it was either the 30th or 31st year for the ride. They do a great job with this one day 25/50 mile ride in Gunnison, Utah. Dave Rabe and I both decided to stay around after Mt. Carmel and help [...] I haven’t had much time to post lately, and the internet has been pretty slow and consistently iffy. When it has worked I’ve used it to get the Mt. Carmel XP ride results posted and other work done that I needed to. I still have a ton more to do and know that there is [...] I have a feeling that for this upcoming ride I’ll be the weak link. I managed to get through four days of the Mojave ride, but just barely. I made it home then went to the orthopedist right away. The xrays showed that I have calcified tendonitis in my shoulder. So I got a steroid [...] I decided to ride Bo the first day. I’m not sure why, maybe because Chief did more miles trail marking so I figured he could use the extra day break he’d get before going on day 2? In either case, there wasn’t any real definite reason for picking which horse to ride which day. Sometimes [...] |
