[RC] New Member Intro/Questions - Nicole Jory

Hi Everyone, My name is Nicole and I live in Victoria BC Canada. I joined this 
list because I was hoping to find some mentors or at least get some help/advice 
on getting in to endurance/CTR etc. I am owned by a 4 year old Andalusian/Arab 
mare who I have just backed this winter, and I am hoping to eventually take her 
to some local distance rides. I am a dressage rider, and don't know the first 
thing about distance riding LOL. But my mare is a wonderful trail horse ( I 
take her for walks in hand all over the place), very level headed and willing, 
and I think she would be alot of fun to do distance riding with, which has 
always been a dream of mine to get into, I just had no idea how. 

If there is anyone on this list that lives in my area I would love to talk to 
you, I also would be interested to hear thoughts on using treeless saddles ( I 
have an Ansur) and keeping the horses barefoot for distance riding. Also are 
there any riders here that do both distance riding and Dressage?

I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up with this list, it sure is active, 
and I am already on a few very active lists..but I was at least hoping to get 
pointed in the right direction.

Thanks!!

Nicole
