Today the Stevens field is the home to a small village of mostly self-contained horse rigs. Thursday night there were about 50 rigs. Thursday the 100-mile riders were riding their horses out to check the trails and make last minute adjustments. When new arrivals first let their horses out the horses began immediately to eat grass. Pen areas were established for each rigs horses. Friendly rivalries are being renewed. Riders from as far away as Vermont, Virginia, Minnesota and Canada were converging with those riders arriving from the Western states.
Much of the talk on Thursday centered around the weather. It seemed that in two hour cycles there would be rain showers and then bright sun. There has been plenty of rain this spring and the grass is high and abundant. Wild flowers are in bloom. Most people arriving remarked at how beautiful the site is this year.
This years Fort Howes Endurance Rides are drawing a large field of entrants. The 50-mile ride on Saturday, June 7, determines the AHA (Arabian Horse Associations Region 6 championship. The 100-mile ride on Sunday is an FEI qualifier and demonstration ride. Between 100 and 120 entrants are expected.
The entrants in the 50-mile ride are given 12 hours to complete the course. Entrants in the 100-mile ride are given 24 hours to complete the course. A time of 13 hours is considered a good time in the 100-mile ride. Horses must make mandatory, periodic stops during ride. During these rest stops a veterinary checks the horse for soundness and metabolic fitness. If a horse passes the veterinary check it can proceed on the next leg of the ride.
The Fort Howes Endurance Rides are held about 25 miles South of Ashland, Montana, off Otter Creek Road. They are hosted by Bill and Jan Stevens on the old Circle Bar Ranch. The rides traverse their property in the valley and the Custer National Forest in the hills above their ranch. They include 100-mile, 50-mile and 25-mile rides.
