[RC] Sandhills Stampede - Equus WolfHi everyone, Did anyone make it to the Sandhills Stampede? I was supposed to ride the LD but was unable to ride due to circumstances out of my control (basically didn't have my trailer ride) My mother and I took a trip to just spend time together and so I could at least see what goes on since I wasn't able to get my horse there. It was great to see the horses leave out at 6am (the 100) and 7am (the LD and 55). I helped two very nice women when they came in from their loops by holding one of their horses and scratching her itchy lil head. They were very nice and I was extremely impressed with how thankful and appreciate they were for someone just to hold their horse's lead rope! I watched the vet in and everything seemed to happen the way I thought it would (people explain things very well!) All-in-all it was a great experience. I just wish I could have had Shelby there as planned. I know she would
have handled it all very well. One rider came in from the first loop (not sure which mileage) much quicker than anyone anticipated. I think they said the loop was 23miles? and this person came into vet check at an hour and 20odd minutes. Isn't this quite pushing the envelope? I saw a lot of really nice looking horses and I also saw some rather skinny horses, which bothered me. Even my mother commented on 2 in particular. So anyone here actually ride? How did it go for you? I guess I will be searching for a trailer as soon as I can afford it. I don't want to be stuck at home again :( Jennifer in SC
