[RC] LBL EXPRESS - Di

Hi Everyone,
This was our first year for a pioneer ride. Looking back at a wonderful week, you always have anxiety about putting on a ride. The past three years we have had to deal with RAIN:)
The RAIN Gods were good to us this year. You could not have asked for better riding weather, Blue skies and cool jacket weather, great for the horses!
We had a great turn-out, thank you to all the riders for attending and supporting the ride!
 
We would like to thank:
Daniel Johnson & his lovely wife April for helping & taking the photos for Thursday & Friday, you can find Daniel's photos at:

Dan's email address is: Jdan150@xxxxxxxxx
 
We would like to thank Jim Holland & Joan Tipton for all their help and Jim for running around taking photos on Saturday:)
They are all deeply appreciated!
 
Thank you to Terry Silver for being my assistant ride manager, she really helped me get a break sometimes:)
 
Thank you to Ron Chapman for helping Jerry marked the trail and taking down the ribbons after a long week.You don't really realize how tired you are until you think, oh I have to go back and take it all down!
 
Thank you to our vets: Doc Otis Schmitt, Doc Mike Habel, Doc Karri Wilson & Doc Paula Thorne(new vet).
 
Thank you to our wonderful timers: Samm Bartee and Nancy Gooch!
 
Thank you to the pulse takers,helpers, etc....Constance Bourne,  Becky Ridley,Susan Kasemeyer, Joe & Tamra Schoech, Jim Barnett, Truman Prevatt & Kathy Thompson.
 
Thank you Sarah Engsburg for donating the Possum Bar BQue sauce:)
Thank you to our ambulance drivers: Ryan Fruth(yes, Ry is old enough to drive now:) and Jim Holland
 
Thank you to Animaltacker(Chuck Williams) for coming to the ride as our vendor! Our wonderful caterers for Friday & Saturday night, the food was delicious.
Of course thank you to our wonderful 12 Ham Radio operators who helped keep track of our riders all day, they had a great time! 
 
We had 4 riders enter the Pioneer Ride, Karen Isaacs on "Jeb" was the only one who completed.
 
Looking at next year's schedule, we would like your feedback.
Would you like a spring/fall/winter ride?
Do you want another Pioneer Ride? 2-day or 1-day ride?

Unfortunately we can not do the ride in the month of October due to the huge volume of trail riders at the campground. First two weeks of April are not available, due to the 3 counties on spring break, that is why our dates were changed this year:( Let us know what you think:)
