Subject: [RC] small in the scheme of
things but huge to me!
I finally got to my very first ride this past
weekend. The Oak Leaf Spring Run in Allegan, MI. I rode my 9yo qh/arab Casino
in the 25 ld and it was wonderful! I am so hooked and I can't wait for
more. We came in 8th place (friend we were riding with was 7th hehe 1 min
ahead). I think our finishing time was just under 4 hours including the 45
minute hold. Casino took to it like an old pro, the only glitch was him not
wanting to drink the first half. His hydration was excellent though so I guess
he just tanked up the night before (filled his big muck bucket of water
twice). We didn't get bc but he did very well in that also. The really funny
part about it is he is a little out of shape still so he kept getting b's on
muscle tone but a's on everything else. The funny part about that is he did
all this carrying 270 lbs of me and tack and was barefoot the whole way. I am
so proud of my boy!
