I'd like to report that I rode the LD (25 mile) Endurance Ride yesterday
down at Ken and Linda Fisher's KENLYN Arabians in Aurora (Denver),
Colorado.
My, what a pleasant experience. Linda, Ken, Brian (and his wife) and
Denise Fisher were wonderful hosts. They provided a BEAUTIFUL, crisp
autumnal day, with absolutely flawlessly marked trails, pleasant and willing
volunteers and vets.
Linda was everywhere helping everybody...and if she wasn't, she ensured
there was a volunteer available to stand in her stead.
I normally don't ballyhoo 25 mile rides, but I truly enjoyed this
experience and highly recommend it as a first ride for folks interested in
riding endurance. I was guiding an Arabian horse owner through his first
endurance experience. During the trot through the gold and red-leafed
woods along the creek, he remarked to me, "THIS is why I have horses!"
Absolutely.
It was a cool experience.
Try it if you're in the area next May or October, I'm sure Linda
will make it a very pleasant experience for you.
