Re: [RC] need ideas for good horse area in the west - Karen SullivanRegarding Kat's comments below, it reminds me of one requirement of a friend of mine who is also looking for horse property.........trees!!! That might also help refine a search....those who like the high desert environment, and those who want more of a habitat with trees.... Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "k s swigart" <katswig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Flora and Fran said: We'd like to hear about areas that don't have lots of oppressive summer heat, huge amounts of snow or rain, or major insect problems. We do love mountains, so it would be nice to have some nearby with ample trail access. We do not compete, but we do extensive trail riding at endurance training ride speed :-) We also plan to start doing a lot of packing. Sounds an awful lot like Bishop, California to me; or anyplace else that is "high desert" so I think it also sounds kinda like Oreana, Idaho but Steph would know more about that. Other places include the Reno/Sparks area as well as Tropic, Utah (except maybe for the Costco within 100 miles part). There are also probably some places in both Arizona (like Sedona, Prescott or Flagstaff, depending on which you prefer a little less heat in the summer or a little less snow in the winter) and New Mexico that meet this description. You could probably also find some areas on the western slope of the Sierras as well (although they will probably be pricier, less hot in the summer, but more precipitation in the winter). kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
