EnduranceNet is stationed at Base Camp at Stevenson Ranch just south of
Bend Oregon.
The opening ceremony was held Thursday afternoon and everyone's horse
seemed to behave rather well considering the blowing flags and applause.
There was a beautiful demonstration of dressage on 2 Friesens. The rider
rode one horse but instructed both horses simultaneously - one right next
to the other. It was a unique demonstration. She handled 2 seperate sets of
reins - one in each hand. Brought a big o'lump to everyone's throat.
Here are some course stats:
1. Base Camp to Vet Check 1 (Swamp Wells) is 29km or 18 miles, followed by
a 30 minute hold.
