I just got back from Euer Valley....and was really impressed with the horses
I saw there (a 50, 25 mile endurance rides, and 35 and 15 mile ride and tie.
Just some wonderfully conformed athletic animals!  My daughter and I did the
short course ride and tie and finished!  Last place out of 6.....but we all
came home safe and sou nd
