Re: [RC] FITS Pioneer Rides SE - Ericka Nelsonplease don't let sand discourage you from entering. don't you have any lakes there? surely there are some sandy lake shore somewhere where you live. i live in nevada and, yes, you must train in sand to push your horse, but doing a slow 25 should really be ok, (just my humble opinion). call ride management and ask how many sandy trails they plan to include. don't let sand stop you!!!! pioneer rides, multi-days, are the greatest fun i've had yet! ericka ----- Original Message ----- From: "April" <pmacedir@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 6:21 PM Subject: [RC] FITS Pioneer Rides SE Reading my EN tonight, I saw that there is a new 6 day ride in FL in March 2005, the Fun In The Sun Pioneer I & II. Looks like 2 separate Pioneer events. There isn't a ride flyer associated with the ride on the ride calendar yet, but I'm guessing this ride is a sandy ride that I wouldn't want to attempt doing if I don't have sand to train on? Comments from the SE riders? Too bad if that is the case. I would love to go down and do several 25 mile rides back to back. But not enough to risk my horse's legs! :-) KUDOS to the management for putting on a SIX day ride! How cool is that? I know these are "common" out west and there is the Shore To Shore ride up north, but in the SE? Very nice indeed.
