[RC] Rocky Mountain Challenge - 2008 Canadian Nationals - Cyndi RowatRocky Mountain Challenge - 2008 Canadian Nationals Featuring à Competitive TrailX Endurance X Ride N? Tie The long-distance seasons are underway all across Canada and riders are looking toward competing at the Rocky Mountain Challenge in Central Alberta July 31 - August 4 for several reasons. This event features entry-level competition, individual competition, Canadian National Team competition and finally, international competition including a World qualifier. The host ranch, Red Deer River Ranches, is nestled in the foothills west of Sundre and offers fabulous, challenging trail to escape from the monotony of work and those same-old trails at home. Plus, to add to your Alberta experience, it?s a working cattle ranch! Alberta is privileged to field two teams in competitive trail as the host province and fifteen horse and riders have nominated including Leanna Marchant and Sampson?s Fire who were on the 2006 Silver Medal team in Quebec and the 2007 Provincial Grand Champion Natasha French and her bay mare Savannah. Along with some up-and-comers and seasoned competitors there is no lack of talent with this year?s nominees. The competitive trail ride season begins May long weekend and riders will be pacing their horses to peak for the Nationals, all while trying to prove to the selection committee and ride veterinarians that their horses are up for the task of representing Alberta this summer. Endurance, competitive trail and ride n? tie events will be taking place from now until the fall. Check your local clubs for ride details. If you haven?t nominated for the National team competition, there are still plenty of individual spots in every division. Bring a horse and compete or bring a friend and volunteer and just enjoy the experience. Do you want to compete with or against the best? Are you are hoping to learn how to become a top-level rider or just learn more about these three long distance disciplines?
