[RC] Carolina Challenge endurance ride...and thanks - Juli Bechard
Does anyone know where I can go to get information on the
Carolina Challenge Ride on Thanksgiving weekend? A friend of mine up in Maryland and I have been
discussing meeting there this year. I have been planning on doing my
first 50 this fall, and thought it might be fun to meet friends also. You
know, a little moral support somewhere around the 40 mile mark, when my horse
and I have now traveled further than we ever have in one day….
Anyway, she suggested this ride, but I can’t seem to find any information
on it.
Oh, and while I’m thinking of it, thank you to everyone for the help with
my new Freeform saddle. I investigated the seat type and found it’s
the older type. I then set my stirrups back about an inch and a half, and
moved them up one hole. That seems to have solved my personal problems
with it. I rode a sloooowwwww 4 miles in it today with no problems (I
love riding with my “lead ‘em and feed ‘em QH friends, I just
wish they would do more than walk. Of course, they probably wish I wouldn’t
walk so fast). I will go out for a good ride tomorrow, and see how it really
does with the new set up. I love Ridecamp! We may get cranky,
irritable, snippy, and downright not nice at times, but ya’ll are a great
group. And Angie, I loved the story…laughed my rear off, emailed
the story to some friends who do halter with their QH’s and Appy’s,
and they laughed their rears off too.
Thanks again everyone.
Juli and the Herd
Alpine (who would really rather you not tell mom about any
ride in which I must go 50 miles in one day…)
Merlin (who is learning how to ground drive like a big
horse, and can’t figure out why mom keeps standing BEHIND him)
