[RC] Things I learnt at DVE - Part 1 - Lucy Chaplin Trumbull

I tried to send this last night, but I guess it was too long,
so it never showed up.

* * *

I've been trying to ride at DVE for the past 5-6 years -
either going down and not being able to ride the borrowed
horse because it had already been seconded; or not having
a horse that was fit enough; or having a horse that was
fit enough, only to have it kicked by our other horse and
lamed a month before, etc.

*This* year would be different. This year, I got to borrow
my husband's six year old NSH (arab/saddlebred pinto) mare,
Zini, and take her on her first ever endurance ride. We
were able to ride the LDs on Day 1 and Day 4 (the days
it rained, of course).

Talk about throwing her in at the deep end. :)
