[RC] Things I learnt at DVE - Part 1 - Lucy Chaplin TrumbullI tried to send this last night, but I guess it was too long, so it never showed up. * * * I've been trying to ride at DVE for the past 5-6 years - either going down and not being able to ride the borrowed horse because it had already been seconded; or not having a horse that was fit enough; or having a horse that was fit enough, only to have it kicked by our other horse and lamed a month before, etc. *This* year would be different. This year, I got to borrow my husband's six year old NSH (arab/saddlebred pinto) mare, Zini, and take her on her first ever endurance ride. We were able to ride the LDs on Day 1 and Day 4 (the days it rained, of course). Talk about throwing her in at the deep end. :) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Lucy Chaplin Trumbull elsietee AT foothill DOT net Repotted english person in the Sierra foothills, California * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
