RE: [AERC_CT_Region] Re: [RC] Getting to rides - Faustina Duffy

Actually, I can even see a new data page we need: who lives where and has what to offer towards buddying up.  Like this:

I'm in North Arkansas, my trailer doesn't have LQ's but has a tack room (I actually have both a 2 and a 4 horse) and I have a truck that runs on vegetable oil that pulls well and runs VERY cheap (I love free fuel).  My horse does fine with other horses, I haven't had anyone I've travelled with refuse to do so again <grin!>, and it saves a BUNDLE on fuel. 

I've already got plans to take 2 friends (and their trailer with LQs) to Big South Fork this weekend, but I'd be happy to look for other rides to partner up on...

Lucky and Romeo (I'll go Mom, even if I have to ride in the truck!)

Wow Donna, you took the words right out of my mouth.  With the
increased price of gas I have committed to my husband that the only
way I will go to rides not close to home will be by "buddying up"
with another rider.  Just costs too much to just haul one horse
anymore.

I am going to Bell Cow Boogie in November and have a buddy to haul
with to that ride, but would always be willng to hear from any other
North Texas area riders who might want to hook up and haul together
to future rides...my truck/trailer or yours...doesn't matter to me. I
am in the Fort Worth area.
