RE: [RC] treatments in AERC rides--> now idaho - Steph TeeterThe Coeur d'Alene area is BEAUTIFUL! But not the best horse country. The winter's are pretty long but not excessively cold, plenty of snow and rain and gray skies, but not really really cold like you find east of the Rockies. Summers are too short for me, we moved from that area down to Southwest Idaho for longer riding season, more sunshine, more trails, better outdoor country and much more horsey. There are logging roads to ride on in N. Idaho, and some trails - but the trails take a lot of work because they get overgrown quickly. Culture, restaurants - yes. Bugs, not too bad. Boating, hiking, yes. Beautiful green scenery yes. Ride all year? no.

Speaking of which, I'm a lifelong Southern Californian. We are pretty seriously toying with the idea of relocating to Coeur d'Alene. We want to raise our kids somewhere where they can be safer, and have room and open spaces to play on, as kids should, along with the horses. Can you Idahoans tell me what it is like up there in terms of trails, rides, places to buy with a bit of acreage and relative costs? Do you love it up there? Will the weather just kill me after living here my whole life? How severe are the winters, and can you ride all year? Bugs? I would really appreciate it. Is there some culture and restaurants and a little nightlife and shopping? From what I have seen, I would die to live somewhere that gorgeous, but want to make sure it isn't so alien that I can't adjust. I'm used to being able to ride year round, even at night-that's a big plus for training and keeping fit. It is just so expensive and crowded here. Slowly trails get lost to suburbia, though I live in a ideal horse town for around these parts. Thanks a bunch-it will be nice to hear from real horse people who live around there instead of just brochures. I am a Nuclear Medicine tech BTW, I assume job hunting should go smoothly and that you have some advanced imaging centers and hospitals up there.
