Any Endurance Riders Here?
« on: January 19, 2010, 07:17:56 PM »
Are there any endurance riders on this site? My husband and I both ride. He does mostly 50s and 100s where I do mostly limited distance (25-35) due to my bad leg (which is hopefully going to be fixed soon!).

My husband does ONE-DAY 100s!!!!! He usually does a hundred in 10-12 hours, sometimes faster! He is actually a ranked rider in the FEI/USEF endurance world and is trying to earn a spot on the USA for World Equestrian Games being held in Kentucky this year!

You used to ride 2-day 100s? As CTR? With AERC?

No, I did not do competitions, I just thought it was fun to see how far I could push the horse (after months of conditioning of course).

I've never done endurance rides, but the daughter of a friend does on a rescue horse and does great!

That's great Sandie! Many of our horses are also rescues of one sort or another. We have some kill pen horses, abused horses, neglected horses, and my Paso Fino pony I got when she was 4 years (she is 7 now). She belonged to a client of ours and struggled with founder/laminitis issues her whole life. They gave her to me.....350 pounds overwieght on a 13.2 hand frame!!!!! The feed way to much grain, green grass and dairy cow alfalfa and never worked her! She is 2009 High Point Paso Fino Endurance Horse of the Year!!! I also placed top 10 in AERC LD mileage (5th), LD Best Condition (3), and UMERCA (6th)!!!!! She has a huge heart but I worked VERY hard to get her where she is today!

I would love to do this with my Arab but I cant get away from the farm anymore for any long time...We just go out and ride on the 144 acreas we have here and might go to the 80 acreas that are 9 miles away some day...dont think it would be too often...I have 6 horses and ride 5 of them Pleasure and Trails...just here at home.     1 of mine was almost sold to a killer and we overbid him...Wonderful horse also...

I am so pleased to hear that you ride and use your horses! So many people do not. I know what you mean! It is very hard to leave the farm. I do not have any milkers so that makes it easier. I have been through a lot of chore people. I have a terrific friend who lives a few miles away and also raises goats, she is fabulous! We take turns doing chores for one another now. I used to have her as my emergency but find she is the only one I trust. She is extremely knowledgeable and can handle anything that happens (which is generally rare...thank goodness!)

I have great respect for you horse people.....they're just too danged big for me.  Scares the heck out of me just to be near them.......

I should mention that the first time I went to ride one, he turned his head and wiped snot all over me (I was about 10 years old and I vomited all over!).... The second time I thought I would try riding, the horse threw me to the ground and took off, lol........  That was the end of my interest in horses.      :lol3:

My Daughter and I have been doing Competitive Trail Riding for the past 5 years, she rides a Spotted Saddle horse and I ride a reg. 1/2 Arabian.  We are members of OAATS, our next ride is April 24Th in Swanton Ohio.  Rides are posted on the OAATS website, if any of you want to meet us there!  Our goal is to be doing some limited distance next year and then move up to some 50s and 100s the following year.  My life long dream is to ride the Tevis!!!  You can see our horses on our website, www.ddnigeriangoats.com on the horse page.  Here is a video of my Daughter's horse.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFsrQQQG9rk

I hope your husband earns a spot on the USA for World Equestrian Games, how cool is that, let us know if he does.

Oh that's great!!!! My husband would really like to ride the Tevis also! I am not sure that I want to do 100s. I think I will be doing a few 50s this year but I mostly ride LDs. Do you ever get to any UMECRA rides?

I have not done any UMECRA rides, but I plan to.  I at least want to do the Shore to Shore, but not until next year.  Brighton is not too far from me either, so I am planing on doing those 3 next year also.  The horse I am riding is in the Novice program so I can't to any thing longer than 25 miles and no 2 day or longer rides and we can't go over 220 competitive miles for the season.  He is 5 and will graduate out of that program next year, so I plan on doing more rides then.  I do have to make it to a few goat shows also!

Do you do mostly the UMECRA ride schedule?  Which ones are you planing on going to this season?

We are planning on riding,
Ride Like a Fool, Swanton Ohio  -Cracked Oaats Crunch, Scioto Ohio  -Alum Creek, Alum Ohio
Tazamamian Trot, Paint Creek Ohio
Scioto Run Endurance rides, Scioto Ohio,   -Celebration, Cyahoga Ohio   -ABI-KHAN+Chanllenge, Ceasar Creek Ohio

We will do most (95%) of the rides UMECRA offers. Many of them are fairly close. We also do a lot of non-UMECRA AERC rides from their periodical like Spook Run (Oct.), Fort Howes (June) , Texas Bluebonnet Classic (end of April), FITS (Mar), Chicken Chase (Apl.). Since my husband is on the FEI ranking list, there will be others we will attend...just not sure which yet...then hopefully the WEG!

We have always done Wildcat around the last weekend in July but this year we plan to do Salomonie Sizzler. That is in central Indiana....maybe you could try there? I have heard it is a well put together ride!
