Re: RC: Parents of junior endurance riders please read
Hello My name is Charlene Lewis Stueve, I am the mother of Jordan Finley.
Jordan has over 1000 miles now and won 2nd place overall Junior in the
Pacific Southwest Region for the year 2000, he had 7 top tens last year and a
total of 580 miles in that year. He did his first 100 miler at the
Californios as a 10 year old. He is 11 yrs old now going to be twelve in
June. He has been riding all his life, since horses are my life, I guess he
had no choice. He is my only child. Jordan did his first race at the age of
6, at the Malibu 25 and then went on to do his first fifty a year and a half
later. Myself and my whole family has been involved in endurance for as long
as I can remember and I am 32 years old now. Jordan is the third generation
to join the trail. My folks are very involved and have 4 time national
standings and numerous regional standings. Myself won 5th overall in our
region last year and 1st in Middleweight division and my husband won 8th
overall in our region and 1st in Heavyweight division. We have a business
called Trail-Rite. I am the trainer of all Trail-Rite horses. Being a trainer
all of Jordan's life left him no choice but to spend many hours in each day
of his life at the barn horsin around. I break, train and campaign endurance
horses and trail horses and would like to say I have a pretty good reputation
in the endurance world. Jordan has jockeyed some of my new horses for me as
young as 4 and 5 yrs olds. He is an awesome and brave rider! I teach balanced
riding and escort riders on there first rides etc......I currently have over
40 horses in the endurance circuit that I started and matched with the proper
owners. Jordan has tagged along and helped with many of my students.
Sometimes we have large groups of new riders and he has been a wonderful
help. He is appreciated and admired by most of my students and clients. My
mother makes and vends endurance ridding equipment as well. You could say we
are all over the endurance sport and Jordan is right in the middle of it. He
helps sell products and collects the money and even helps grandma sew
sometimes! Last year between the 3 of us inour imidiate family we actually
placed 6th in the National Family Awards, but paperwork got screwed up and we
did not get presented an award at the convention, but the AERC sent us an
award. It was partially my fault as we were moving and relocating our ranch
last november through Jan. 2001 There was some confusion because we had 3
different names going. Long story. Lewis Finley Stueve is the names. Stueve
is my husband name. But our family had 2,600 somthing miles total last year.
Jordan rides in orange and red gear and wears a wild flame shirt. When he was
younger after the rides he would dress up as Zorro and ride around. I have
lots of pictures. I have one really neat one of him last year at the Sunland
ride Cantering up this steep hill, his horse looks amazing and powerful as
well, it is a real breath taking picture he gets alot of compliments on that
one. i would be happy to send you a copy.
Jordan has a very outgoing and funny personality. He is very easy to talk to,
he is pretty mature for his age I think. I guess because he hangs around a
lot of adults being an only child. Feel free to give him a call or E-mail
him, his E-mail is: EnduroBoy100@aol.com
Home #661/251-0839
Barn # 661/513-9269
We are the Ride managers at the Hog Wild ride May 26th in PS region just two
weeks from now. Jordan will be riding it if you would like to come out. Hope
to hear from you!
