RE: [RC] New Ride Location - Stewart, CarrieHi FMK, You could count me in as one of your potential endurance riders if you host a ride here. I bet you would have very good attendance because of the central location of the ridecamp too. As for best time of the year... any month other than late June, July, August or early September. Just too darn hot! :o) Good luck and hope that I will get to meet you at your ride in the future. Carrie Stewart Central Region To train a horse you have to be smarter than the horse. With Arabians, fewer people qualify. From: Ridecamp Guest <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [RC] New Ride Location Please Reply to: FMK kenyonfarms@xxxxxxxxx or= ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Parrie Haynes Ranch is located on 4500+ ac on the Lampass River,= just south of Killeen, Tx. So far there are 25 miles of marked= trails, 20 e/w hook-ups, 40 pipe corrals, and a large meeting= room w/kit. I am the sec. for a NATRC ride at this ranch in May= 2004. Now for my question: If I wanted to host a AERC ride at= this ranch next year (2005) what would be the best time of year= to do this? And how many entries could I expect? Is this= location good enought to attract enought riders? No, I am not an endurance rider, but my sister and friends are.= They think it's a good idea, but I just would like a little more= input from seasoned AERC people, befor I stick my neck out. Thanks, FMK ============================================================ Arabians were bred for years primarily as a war horse and those requirements are similar to what we do today with endurance riding. ~ Homer Saferwiffle ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
