Ridecamp: [RC] Shamrock Ride

The Shamrock Ride is a great ride and fun endurance adventure.  Went there 
last year for the first time and going back again this year.  Guess it all 
depends on your horse if it would be a good first ride.  It would make a good 
first ride for my arab who might have problems with all the ups and downs in 
our Ozark hills but would not have made a good first ride for my "out of 
control" half saddlebreds.  HA!  They don't do flat wide open trails at a slow 
speed very well so glad my half-saddlebred was in good condition for this 
ride. The gates you have to stop and open gives a nice break from all the good 
going and trotting though.  There are some steep climbs but not too bad 
especially if you can get off and tail or lead down them on the last day.   
The scenery is beautiful and each loop is really different. The people are 
friendly and helpful.  Great management with good food, well marked trails, 
and nice awards.   Happy Trails, Kathy Crothers from Ct. region
