Re: [RC] Alaska rides - desertrydr1I was in Fairbanks from 1984-1990. I lived outside of town about 4 miles from the University of AK-Fairbanks. There were 2 horses that lived right down the road from us, my son who was about 3 at the time, really wanted to see them up close til I lifted him up and their heads were almost as big as him!There are a number of horses in Fairbanks, but one of the reasons I left after I got my degree was that I knew "I" could never afford to have horses up there. There's actually a fairly large horse community in the Anchorage area, as they have much milder winters. There are even shows and clinics up there, although I haven't heard of any rides available. jeri -----Original Message----- From: Maryanne Gabbani <msgabbani@xxxxxxxxx> To: Jen Simons <jksimons@xxxxxxx>; Ridecamp <Ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:42 pm Subject: Re: [RC] Alaska rides My current intern is from Alaska. She learned to ride at university in Montana and for now she rides here and outside of Alaska. Not a whole lot happening horsewise there as far as she knows. Pretty hard horsekeeping. There was a woman called Sally, I believe, on another list who had some horses in Alaska years back. Her stories, especially in winter, made everyone feel pampered. Haven't heard from her in ages.
