[RC] Gold Country - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Mindy Morris mindymorris2530@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Oh my gosh!!!!! Soooo glad I went to the Gold Country ride this past week-end - I will DEFINATLY be back next year.......what a treat...The volunteers, vets, ride manager, all just the nicest people ever !! About 3 or 4 times there were people along the trail with gatoraid, pepsi, tea, water...with great clean water for the horses - While you and you horse drank, they sponged the horses and refilled the riders water bottles.....and all with smiles and wishes of good luck - The vet checks were like catered events, for both horses and humans - Anything you could want to drink, homemade cookies, and for the horses..a couple of different types of hay, bran mash with carrots and apples in it in piles all over the place and all along the vet check line too !! I guess my mind had slipped.....or was my head was up my ##*, but I went with old shoes on my sweet Jimbo and he lost 1 on the 1st 10 mile loop - Got another at the vet check (thanks Ken !!) and then he pulled another on the last 10 mile loop - I walked him in apologising the whole time to him for being such a ditz head - all in all it took us 11 hours and 30 minutes or so........and there were still happy, smiling, volunteers there to cheer us on as we crossed the finish !! It was so nice - Jimbo and I had a wonderful time...camp was shady and beautiful ! As I said..we will be back next year and get our entry in EARLY......('cause when everyone finds out about this ride it is gonna fill even quicker then it did this year) and Jimbo will have NEW SHOES !! And an easy boot !! Thanks to all for a GRAND time !!
