2016 Black Sheep Boogie - Peter DeMott

2016 Black Sheep Boogie photos by Peter DeMott

Great management and lots of great help from Oaats volunteers and works from Elkins Creek Horse Camp were handed challenges from nature. Nature had its way with the Black Sheep Boogie Endurance ride with heavy rains just before the day of the ride and high temperatures and humidity which all made for a very challenging event. The rain softened up some trails which had been just dandy days before...

Challenging trails at TOP OF THE ROCK Endurance Ride

It was great photographing the Top of the Rock endurance ride at Deem Lake. The weather was pretty good although it did get pretty hot and humid for the horses and riders and there and that played a part in the competition rate.
Many of the trails, I was told, were closed due to logging that was going on in the park so for the 50’s there was one grueling loop that everyone was talking about. Slippery, rocky, and steep for miles it seemed. Many people used almost all their time getting through.
