Owyhee Fandango International - 3-day Pioneer and 1 day 100 (AERC/FEI)
May 24, 25, 26.
Ride 3 different days on the Owyhee Front rangelands. Ride along the Oregon Trail and along the Snake River around Wild Horse Butte. Green grass, wildflowers, and plenty of water in the creeks! Come back to camp each night for hot showers, country music, happy hour, and Hearty Ranch Dinners. The 100 mile course will have a hold at Sierra del Rio Ranch and traverse around Wild Horse Butte. Scenic, but good footing and easy track for a good first 100, or a fast FEI 100.
This year will be our first WEE - World Endurance Exchange ride. We have international riders who want to come and ride, so bring an extra horse!

Tom Noll's Story
Ancient Shores
Kathy Irvine
Just like your vagrant tumbleweeds,
recollections of you drift
through my thoughts.
You were handsome
as your wind burned cowboys
with sagebrush collar
worn against a craggy jaw.
You took me to high places where you
revealed a ravaged past,
and why you wear spines and armor plates
without apology.
Your moody sands etched a deeper truth
in my face. Still, in the shady embrace
of your cottonwood canyons I was renewed.
And, in purple evenings with moon as bold as day.
you gave me fortunes in the stars.
You were a first kiss.
But, tomorrow is what I dream.
'Till we meet again, Owyhee.
