Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I had the distinct pleasure of riding Whoa Jack.  I want to get  into endurance and  a mutual friend introduced me to  Melissa.  At the time (last Feb and March)  I was looking for  a horse to start conditioning and Melissa was sweet enough to look at  some descriptions of horses I had found.  She then offered to let  me come out and ride with her to see what my riding level was so that  she had a better idea what type of horse might work for me.
  
  She rode Sage and I rode Whoa Jack.  He is one of the sweetest  horses I have ever been on.  He gave Sage (probably 15 years his  junior) a run for his money.  And you could tell Melissa was proud  of him.  
  
  What a great honor to ride such a wonderful horse.  He was a  gentleman the entire time.  And what a great confidence builder  for someone very new to the sport.
  
  It was because of Melissa that I met my other great friends that are  helping
 me.  She suggested I volunteer at the Trace Tribute to get  an idea about how rides go.  I met many people who just included  me in their group.  That is a great suggestion for anyone who  thinks they might like to eventually do LDs or endurance.
