I put up a couple of photos of Pro Bono's hooves 
today:

I did a little trimming on the bars since I had rasped the rest of 
the foot down and I didn't want to have any pressure points.  Things 
are slowly getting better on Bo's feet but it will still take awhile 
as I think he is still a little long in the heel on a couple of feet 
and of course he needs to grow out some of the stress rings from 
being out of balance while shod.  The good news is that he is sound, 
and his Renegades fit and work on him perfectly.  I'll find out more 
tomorrow when we go out to mark trail for Eastern Mojave (hopefully 
he won't be limping on three or more legs!) :D

It snowed here today but is expected to clear up and looks like mid 
60's for the first day of the ride on Saturday.  I think we've had 
just enough precipitation here to keep the dust down and keep the 
sandy footing firm.

The ride this coming weekend is going to be so much fun - Annie will 
be fixing dinners for those coming that want them (please make 
reservations, of course) -- plus her sister and mom (Lavone) will be 
here as well.  Looks like entries on this ride are also down 
substantially.  Hopefully there will be a lot of late entries.

For those coming from Arizona please note that Nipton rode is closed 
and you will need to take a couple of turnoffs to get through - if 
you are coming that way and don't already have that info please email 
me and I"ll get that info to you.  I'll check email one way or the 
other (sometimes the satellite service has been off) each day through 
the end of the week so nobody gets missed.

If you are planning on coming to the Eastern Mojave Scenic ride and 
have not yet entered please do so at:  http://www.xprides.com   As of 
last year, this ride is an XP ride and will count towards the Gold 
Medal award - if you complete 1,000 miles or more on the same horse 
at XP rides in a year you'll win Gold Medal - a nice horse blanket, 
jacket and all sorts of goodies.  There are also silver and bronze 
levels too.  It's all on the website so be sure to check it out now 
if you are working on goals for the 2009 season.  :)

If you'd like meals at EMS please let us know by Thursday early as 
that is the day Annie is making the last Costco run to Vegas.
