MEC is always fun however it also signals an end to our competitive rides for another year.  We always hope for decent weather and this year we lucked out. Well endurance lucked out. Sunday’s weather for Competitive Trail was a whole different story! I had marked one of the loops and I had contemplated using…

Recap of the Belair Gong Show Ride.  Well they say it takes a village to raise a child. Apparently the same holds true for preparing some endurance rides.  As there was a truck breakdown, an ATV “incident”, an Argo stuck up to the axles and a surprise early foal the cast of characters was constantly…

Well it wouldn’t be a ride at Spruce Woods without blistering heat for the weekend!  And man was it hot!  I was supremely glad that I wasn’t housed in a tent as has been the case in previous years. The AC in the trailer was a welcomed relief but as winter is always just around…

When one rides endurance it seems a lot of things are done under the trial and error method. Often something that works for one horse won’t work for another. And there lays my woe!  Not whoa as that’s another story Tia, my grey steed, is a boxy little thing (sort of like me but fortunately…

I was super pumped for the first ride of the season!  As endurance riders in Manitoba we wait a looong time for the new season so the first ride is always greatly anticipated by all.  Well the week prior to the ride disaster struck x2!  On Monday I was out riding with a friend and…
