I asked on the AERC page if anyone had heard of Adhere being used as a pad and was greeted with responses of "Get those out immediately, they're hurting her" and "Your poor horse". One “zoom” is enough for anyone, so he just watches them and braces himself for when they come hurtling toward him and slam on – de There is also indoor showers and bathrooms and a big building where we can have potluck and meetings. and being very fastidious and believing “that if a job’s worth doing it’s worth doing properly” it became an obsession.

May came (after the worlds longest winter) and DH and I showed up after driving 8 hours the day before to bring home our new (to us) weekender trailer and having a fiasco with that to the first ride of the season.The ride managers came around and told us they had changed the first loop to be 3 miles down the gravel road and back before starting the second half of the loop.

They are ok quality and i have had mine for nearly 2 years and they are still fine, i use them as my everyday riding boots. I ran back to the campsite after the meeting and got Stitch saddled up and cram a power bar in my mouth for breakfast. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. If you haven't had enough of acronyms by this point we are also members of MNDRA (MN Distance Riding Association) which sanctions all 9 of the Minnesota Endurance Rides. There was a silent auction during the ride and I got a hot pink halter bridle for Stitch and I got Chico some rope reins with leather poppers on the end!To enable personalized advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.

There was a turnaround at a water stop and then we headed down the road the other direction and down a driveway. I've been trying to start posts after our rides but I decided I would bite the bullet and start a journal! The ride was supposed to be at the park an hour for us but earlier this summer the ride managers found out that the DNR had banned vehicle traffic on the bridge that led to the overflow parking. We got back to camp for our hold at a few minutes before 10 and all of the horses were pulsed down in no time.I crossed the road into the first spot and noticed there was an open campsite right next to the vet in area.

I'm pretty darn sore today and a little disappointed with our ride time/ Stitch's sore back but my only goal was completion and we did that!

I managed to make the hike before the rain started but after I got inside everyone who came in after me was drenched head to toe. I was a little worried about how Stitch would handle being left at the trailer alone but after a few screams for her buddies she was content to munch hay in the rain with her blanket on and watch everyone else have to go out! I had her tied for a little grain and I decided to strap a bareback pad on her back to see how she would react. She never had children nor planned on adoption as they found themselves just happy enough in each other's embrace. a "Horses rule boys drool" onesie for our new niece, and a tub of Sore No More Poultice so we don't have to borrow next year!
