The first couple of times I rode Kahlil in parades, he balked at white lines on the pavement -- like crosswalks -- much to the delight of the crowd. But he ...

Hi all, I have gone back over all the paperwork and double checked the numbers and am sending off the results to AERC. Here is what is what is being sent to ...
Having just returned from a two month stay in TN, I got the chance to see a Racking/Prancin/Walkin Horse Show in Newport, TN over the 4th of July week-end....
Jim, is this some sort of sneaky braggin rights you're throwing in here? Heck, let me bring you down a notch. Howard has one of those. lol. You'll have to...
There's been a number of requests from members in the past for access to the AERC database so that studies can be made. There is a huge amount of data...
Hi Mike. One thing I have wanted to see for years is a combined list of high mileage horses (over 5000 - ??) who have also won Reg/National awards. and/or a...
There has been a lot of discussion recently about "the decline of the 100 mile ride", so I felt it important to share with you what happened this weekend. Ride...
Amen, Terre. When I started out writing the "High Hopes For A Hundred" series for Endurance News, it really did seem like this daunting thing. Huge. Out of...
Hello Howard, You should try imagine how nice it is to ride one(TWH) in an endurance ride. No posting. I never post at endurance rides, but then I am riding...
Sorry about that, thought it was private. So, Terre, were you one of the experienced 100s that completed? :-) Congrats to Barbara and the gang. Lynne...
... Yep! 3rd place (rode with the 2nd placer). The winner rode alone all day and finished in 14 1/2 hours (Linda Nicholas-formerly-Karius), then two of us in...
Well, I know it isn't much, but Magic tried so hard for me all year and it means a lot to me because of that. The only other award I have ever won from AERC...
Patti - I have SO ENJOYED the series of articles you have written on prepping for yoru first 100. They have been wonderfully informative and delightfully...
Terre, Congratulations to all! And thanks for spreading the word that 100s are doable. And on tough courses. That's part of the subsequent reward. Stagg...

I asked the first time riders to write something up about their experience--good, bad, etc. Here are the first responses (1 still to come, he says he's too...
Terre, I applaud your effort - I have had the same results with my Oct and Nov 100's over the years (since 1983). However, as tough as it is to get riders to...
That's exactly what the numbers show - 33% do only one and about 50% do 2 or less. It seems that there is a lot of "doing it to show you can" and then going...
... Ain't it the truth (sigh)? We'll just have to see how many of them do another in the next year or so. I know the experienced riders who were starting new...
One thing I didn't look at when I looked at the 100 data was the question of " the probability of a rider starting more than one 100 given he completes his...
... Also--as you will see in all 3 ride stories: we are a 'small community'. A LOT of people 'stay up' for the 100s; once the 50s are done and the 100s are...
