It was past time to do something with the horse paddock area. Over the last several years it had worn away and had low spots. Last winter was the final draw! It was so wet last year that the entire area was one big mud pit for months…and months. The first photo shows some of the piles of material that were brought in. We brought in something like 25 tons of decomposed granite (base) Continue reading A Change of Footing plus Upcoming Product Reviews! I just recently received this photo, taken by Mindy’s daughter Jennifer Wolfe. This is Bo and I leaving Foresthill on the 2010 Tevis. As you can see, we were having a great time. It was a really magical ride for us. Time has gotten away from me and I never did write very much about our Tevis ride! The best part of the ride this year was the feeling of security that I had Continue reading Tevis 2010: A quick recap! Isn’t this great for Renegade hoof boots? I wanted to share some good news! Made in the good ‘ol USA too! I’m copying this good news (see below) from the Renegade hoof boot website, with permission. I found it really interesting that the 55 mile race was won so fast (3:29) and that riders 7 through 11 were pulled at the finish line. Ouch!

It’s no different than any other type of tack or riding equipment that you use. If you take care of your hoof boots, Continue reading Hoof Boot Maintenance 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 slightly over 20 miles and has the technical terrain on it that includes a lot of boulders, narrow singletrack Continue reading 2010 Eastern High Sierra Classic 50 Ride Photos & Report – My 500th Ride Completion! 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 dishwasher so it will be clean for the ride on Saturday. While I am going to glue Renegades on Continue reading Pre-ride check, before cleaning everything for….Tevis on Saturday! Photo by Vicki Gaebe. Karen & Chief, Day 2 Strawberry Fields Forever 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 Vicki Gaebe, and can be Continue reading Strawberry Fields Forever 2010 Ride Photos! |
