Endurance ride is finished. 24 riders, Tracey finished 11th and Bob finished 13th. 50 miles with one 1hour hold and 2 15minute holds included. Tracey's time was 7hrs, Bob's was 7hrs 39minutes. Sonny did fine but was tired, Fancy was beat, poor mare. They both vetted in fine though, everything was okay except attitude. Well, the attitude comes with the territory with an Appaloosa. Seriously pissed to be asked to trot out again after they figured they were done.
Heh. Gotta love the Appy'tude. We have three of them at my barn. One of the horses that I ride is an Appy, and while she's a great horse, she always has her ears pinned regarless of how she feels about things. :-)
Congrats on good finishes in the endurance ride. Glad everyone finished sound!
Did you take any pictures? :~D
Congratulations to you 2 and Bob and Tracy
Tell your people good job on the race:)
Whew, 7 hours....I'm good for about 5-5 1/2 then the fun is over and it becomes a chore:)
I did 7 on Memorial day, but it was in spurts, that's not as bad as just straight 7 with small breaks.
