I
just want to let you know that the Git R Done Elevator ride in Inyokern,
CA, is scheduled for October 18, 2008, and it is under new management. At
this time, we are planning FEI CEI** 50 miler, CEI and CEIY*** 75 miler,
and CEI and CEIY*** 100 milers, as well as the usual AERC 25,50,75, and 100
mile elevator rides. The FEI sanctioning is not yet official, but we hope to
hear very soon that we have approval.
This
is a great ride not only for experienced horses and riders, but also for riders
hoping to move up in distance. All but the first vet checks are in camp, and
the trails are flat and sandy, with excellent footing and abundant water for
the horses. We will be increasing the crew access to the riders on the
trail. It will be a wonderful opportunity to start young horses in FEI
before the expected rules changes come through in January of 2009, as well as
to get additional 3 star 100 mile rating on proven horses. This year, a meal
ticket will be included with your entry.
I
hope you will consider adding this ride to your schedule this year, and join us
in the desert for a fun, friendly ride!
