ENDURANCE CHALLENGES, TRIALS and SUCCESSES in 2016

First endurance ride of 2016 was January 23 at Bumblebee Ranch!  It was just fantastic!  We rode our best 50-mile completion to date, and we all went home healthy, sound and happy.

We started out just before daybreak and watched a gorgeous sunrise and felt the cool, crisp air on our faces.  The horses love the brisk temperatures; it makes them playful, frisky and energetic.

The trails were challenging, but most definitely manageable.  We rode with our friend, Andrea and her beautiful mustang, Lily.  Our pace was a pretty even 6.7 to 6.8 sometimes 6.9 mph, and all 3 ponies flew through their vet checks with flying colors!

Here's a photo from our ride:
