[RC] New Member Intro/Questions - Nicole JoryHi 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!!
