I'm trying to plan for the Fandango ride and would really appreciate  
if those of you that are coming could send me a note, or pre- 
register. I really haven't a clue yet how many riders we'll have!

The trails are in great shape (I've been raking...) and the course  
will be pretty easy - not much elevation, minimal rock. Wildhorse  
Butte on the first day, to the Sierra del Rio Ranch for the 100 and  
the 2nd, day 3 will go south across Triangle Rd - a little more sand  
over there, but nice different scenery. The wildflowers should be  
terrific - everything is later this year because it's been so cold.  
Tons of grass out there on the trail.

Important notices:  dinners will be served, free to volunteers, staff  
and riders BEFORE each day's ride. Friday night dinner for Saturday  
ride. Saturday night dinner for Sunday ride. Sunday night dinner for  
Monday ride. Dinners will be by Blue Canoe Catering (good ol' home  
style cooking :) And of course we'll have happy hour each evening,  
with good local Idaho wine.

Lots of great awards - nice polo shirts, special goodies from  
Malaysia, sponsor donated products. We'll have some nice pads for  
awards Haf Italia - (Haf pads), and Fleeceworks pads. Special custom  
halters.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday will have 25 and 50 miles each day. Sunday  
will also have 75 and 100 miles, and FEI 50, 75 and 100. Passports  
are required for the FEI 100. Coggins and flu shot records (within 6  
mo) are all that is required for the FEI 50 and 75.

Vets are Robert Washington (AERC head vet), Mike Foss (FEI head vet),  
Michael Peterson, Olin Balch, Tom Timmons.  We have some special  
guests coming to ride and to officiate:  from Guatemala, Great  
Britain, Belgium, Argentina, Japan, UAE (Shekha Madiya is working as  
an FEI Official!). We really hope to make this a fair and safe ride,  
as well as a really fun event. I'm hoping we can mix up the FEI and  
AERC so that nobody can even tell which is which and we all enjoy the  
sport and the competition in good spirit!
