This is in response to Lynne G's post
about the Bear Valley Best Conditon
for Limited Distance, and the BC winner.
I have a very full barn of Endurance horses
here in Ventura County,and yes, we train
seriously for the Limited
Distance as well as for the Endurance Rides,
and go with fully prepared horses.
The Bear Valley Springs Ride DID award a
Best Condition that ONLY took the Top Ten
Limited Distance Riders into consideration.
These Top Ten riders were weighed when they
finished and were judged as a "real" BC.
I was very proud to have three riders considered for
this award. Sue Magnusson on Peaches N Khareem
(1st place), Sarah Boothe on LP Lisa (2nd), and
Terry Bannister on E-bay. Sarah Boothe and LP
Lisa wound up winning the Best Condtion Award.
They did give another BC that left the remaining
horses in consideration for that award.
Thank you to the Bear Valley Springs management for
offering the Best Conditon in the Limited Distance
Ride.
