Story and Ride Photos on Karen’s Musings & Endurance Ride Stuff
Washoe was a great ride, as always! We had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed the trail and getting to see everybody - this is one of the best run rides that I've ever been to! The trail is marked superbly too thanks to Dave Rabe. Plenty of vets, volunteers, water, hay and treats for riders and horses too along with nice awards and dinners.
I think the best part of the ride for me was on the second day on the second loop after having been rained on and wind blown for hours (but getting to change into dry gear at lunch to give it another go on loop #2) being on top of the mountain several thousand feet in the air up among the clouds (which were whizzing by at mach speed) having gigantic tumbleweeds blowing towards us at high speed and stopping to take a photo while Chief stood perfectly still while the fast flying tumbling tumbleweeds flew into us and he stood quietly. The best endurance rides are the ones where something extreme happens whether it be the weather or another situation - that's when you really get to know your horse and I can't say it without meaning it -- there is no horse that I would rather be riding in extreme conditions than Chief. I don't even mind slipping and sliding down slippery hills in the mud with him. Whereas another horse would scare me, with him it's just fun and exciting. I had the best ride ever and I'm so thankful to be able to have these experiences.
Many thanks to Connie, Gina, their family and friends and everybody that helps with this ride - great job (again, as always!). Don't miss it next year if you can help it!

Thank you so much for sharing the post. It is really informative. You have shared an interesting post here. This is my first visit to this site. I loved this post. I really enjoyed reading it.
I love horse riding. It is always fun. It is a different experience. It is one of the things I am crazy about. Whenever I get time I spend it for riding. It makes me happy. Because I love riding. As a horse lover, I would say horse riding is really exciting. People should try it once. Of course learning it is not easy. We cannot learn it in a single day. It takes time to learn it. It would be difficult at first. Everything seems difficult when we try it first. But once we learn it, it would be easy. Horse riding is one of the best sports in which we can enjoy a lt. It would be adventurous. Sometime we may face many troubles. Riding in extreme weather condition is adventurous. We may slip or slide down in slippery hills in the mud. But that make it more exciting. We should have a strong mind. It can help us to overcome our fear. It can help us to make our mind strong. It can teach us patience. While riding we have to concentrate to keep control of both our body and horse, so it requires our full concentration. We cannot think about other things. It is good. It helps to improve our patience. So horse riding is always exciting.
I am really glad to visit this site. So you had enjoyed the ride. So glad to know about it. It is a pleasure to visit here. People who love horse riding definitely like this site. Keep it up your fantastic work. And keep on sharing new posts.
