I tried sending a message earlier, but I had attached a photo and I
fear it didn't go through. I want to recommend SP entrants either pad
their horses or bring EZ Boots to place over the front shoes.
Environmental protection agencies have compelled both the owners of
timberland and Pescadero County Park to lay crushed rock on any area of the dirt
roads that suggest water drainage. Therefore, riders will find numerous
rocky area along the way between mile 22 and mile 36. Some of this can be
ridden around, some cannot. They even rocked our trot-out area at the
first major vet check. Sigh.........
