Re: [RC] Fires Near FORT HOWES - John TeeterGet to Fort Howes early!! Both Steph and I had great on-the-job fire training a few years back. Arrived on Wednesday evening and by mid-day Thursday we were on the fire line. Got our part controlled by late evening. It didn't distract from the ride and it certainly is a way to bond with your crew! It's the kind of country that accomodates fire as a way to stimulate growth I think. It was common to see old fire marks on the trees and fresh grass coming up after the burn. Anyway, hope to see you all there. It should be a very good week. It's the second of the USEF National Endurance Team Training events (after Biltmore), so all the USEF folks will be there too.

We look forward to seeing all the riders come and enjoy our trails and hospitality June 12 and 13. Bill and Jan Stevens Fort Howes Endurance Rides, Inc. ============================================================ They're athletes! This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail. ~ Dr. Barney Flemming DVM ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
