Re: [RC] Broomfield, CO - Sky RanchHi Diane, I moved to Gunnison, Colorado from Texas 11 years ago, and was "very afraid" of the cold, and dreaded driving in snow. Gunnison is one of the colder spots in Colorado, yet I was quite comfortable. I bought a really good coat and boots, and respected the weather. We're now in Cortez, which is much warmer (I actually like Gunnison better because it's cooler in the summer ..!) You know, you've probably been much colder in Tulsa, OK, than you'll ever be anywhere in Colorado. That's certainly true of me - I was much colder in Texas, with the higher humidity, than I've ever been here. As far as driving on snowy roads, the ice storms in Oklahoma and Texas are far WORSE than any snow you'll drive on here. Come on out to Colorado - I'll bet you'll love it! The high cost of living -- well, that is a drag, I have to admit that. Things ARE expensive here, but if you earn a good salary you'll be fine. Hopefully your company will pay your moving expenses. Go to the website www.mrer.org (Mountain Region Endurance Riders) for information on aerc rides and contact info in the area. I wish I had more info for you, but I'm about a 9 hour drive from where you'll be if you're in Broomfield. At any rate, good luck to you, and I hope you come to Colorado - there are a LOT of endurance and ctr riders out here, and so MANY beautiful trails. I think you'll be happy, at least I hope so. Please don't hesitate to contact me -- if I can be of any help to you I'll certainly do my best.

Is anyone here familiar with the area? Places to board my pony, places to ride, endurance people to hook up with, dressage instructors? What is the area like - I hear it's cold, cold, cold and so far that and the high cost of living (I'm in Tulsa OK) is what really turns me off of the idea.
