We got Winnie (we also spell it “Whinny”) for our 10th wedding anniversary. She is now a teenager, and is 1/2 blue heeler (cattle dog) and 1/2 dalmatian. She has been the best dog. She loves to play fetch, loves to swim and play in water. She is fearless, in a good way – she [...]

A FEW WORDS FROM A ’76 XP RIDER TO THE ’01 XP RIDERS By Lori Stewart I won’t bore you with why, but in ’76 I rode the entire XP trail with barely the minimums. My husband and I slept under the stars or in the back of a stock trailer when it rained. We [...] Some good news – The first XP Ride of the 2010 season is the Eastern Mojave Scenic Pioneer ride. We just got approval from the AERC to add another day on to it. We did this partially because we lost 5 days when Schellbourne was canceled….and also because the Young’s have been so accommodating. This [...] 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! The horses both traveled well and the truck ran good – we had a nice trip traveling with Dave Rabe and the Fredrickson’s most of the [...] Will be offline for a few days to be with family. I AM FREE Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God has chosen for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To [...] Here are photos of some things left at XP rides in the last year. If any of these belong to you, email me and let me know who you are and if you know somebody that will be at Bryce, Virgin Rim or Grand Canyon rides that we can send your item home with. Here are some photos of the trail. I took these today – my friend Amy rode Bo for me, and I rode Cheefy. We had a great time and the horses really seemed to enjoy the trail. It is in a beautiful area and is a really nice ride. There is still time to enter [...] Heading up to Robie Park for the start of Tevis and getting the webcast started. I’m posting a twitter feed below, hope it works. To view the Tevis Cup 100 Mile Ride webcast click here. Photos will be added here starting tomorrow evening. If you have a Twitter account you can sign up to receive [...] I just got this in an email. Oooooh…..somebody has egg on their face, eh???? “The last fortnight has seen an extraordinary outpouring of concern from horse lovers, explorers and Long Riders around the planet, all of whom have added their voices to a collective cry aimed at stopping the so-called Mongol Derby. Here is a [...] The photo of this Mongolian horse was taken in June – he’s shown here hobbled. If anybody would like to comment on a post you can click on “comments” at the bottom and do so – or shoot me an email. I don’t expect everybody to agree but please be civil and respect other peoples’ [...] I wrote and asked the Aventurists that question a couple of days ago, and still have not gotten a response. However, I did get a couple of answers from Long Rider’s who have ridden in Mongolia. I was wondering what might happen to the horses after they do their 25 mile (40 km) section of [...] This is a great dose of reality for anybody contemplating riding in the Mongolian Derby – you’ve got to read this entire warning to competitors and their families….you can download the pdf of this from the Long Rider’s page at this link. I do not believe the race organizers have been completely clear about the [...] There has been a lot written already about the upcoming Mongol Derby. I’d like to share a few of those links and also some e-mail exchanges regarding the event between the Long Rider’s Guild and the company that is putting on the event. Racing into trouble: alert from The Long Riders’ Guild Mercy Corps’ Mongolian [...] 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 [...] Today was the best day ever. Kerry gave Bo a lesson in Nannette’s big jumping arena. It was so much fun to watch and see how well trained my horse is with a really good rider (not me!). This photo is of Kerry and Bo taking a canter lead with Bo trying to rush into [...] |
