Hello, I"m new to the group and am really interested
in gaited endurance.   I breed Missouri Foxtrotters
and for the last eleven years have been selectively
breeding for endurance type horses.

I was wondering what distances those on this list ride
and what types of horse you ride.  How do you place
with gaited horses.

There are lots of questions.   But I won't drown you
in them all at one time!

I was born and raised and lived most of my life in
Washington state but currently live in the Ozarks.
It's been really hot here this year ever since
mid=May.

Do you ride in the heat?

Thanks for all the information!

Hi Nancy!

I'm one of the TWH people, this is my 2nd season with
gaited horses (used to ride arabs and appy's)

I've done 5 rides so far this year with my 4 yr old
TWH gelding, and am having a great time!  We even
managed a top ten last weekend at Bandit
Springs--wheeee! :)

Welcome to the list, let us know where you're at and
when we can expect to meet you in person! :)

Hi, Nancy ~

 

Where abouts do you live, and how long have you had your TWH?  Tell us about the rides you’ve done so far (I think there were three?).

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your note.

Just got back from  the Redwood  ride down on the California coast.  I
bought Hunter in May - I suspect this 25 was about 12 miles farther  than
he ever went before.  His vet scores were pretty amazing, all A's with a B
for impulsion at the finish.  Impulsion is always a problem with my horses
because I'm old and don't do a good job with trotting them out.  He came in
10th of about 22 and showed me what we need to work on.  The riding part
went fine, but his ground manners  must have reverted to some earlier
behaviors.  He was embarrassingly ill-mannered.  He kept up all day with a
very nice Arab my daughter had borrowed.

Brenda and all,

Svala, my mare, has been ponied several times and ridden out twice now:)  As
soon as we were able to get shoes on we hit the trails.  The first six
weeks, no shoes, she lost 50lbs with diet only.  The second six weeks after
shoes and exercise she lost 90lbs.  She is on hold currently due to
pressure, a colt was born in Utah with my name on it, now to sell my
gelding.

I am riding Gandur, my gelding, quite a bit so that he is in top condition
to sell.  I've also taken in a young horse, 3yr old WB, to start on trails.
The things we'll do for horses:)


I'm on call this weekend, so won't make it out to Colton.

Karen

Hi Karen!

Glad to hear she's doing better, is she able to be
worked/ponied yet?  Still riding your gelding?

Are you going to the VVR trail ride tomorrow over in
Colton?

Wow Brenda, Good Job!  I'm envious as usual.

The Icelandic mare I now have is coming along nicely.  Another 100lbs to
lose, but her feet are looking better at every check.

See ya on the trails,
Karen F.

Nancy,

Not much is going on in this group right now as far is I can tell.  I
am not sure why, except that a lot of people do both the PNER group AND
the gaited endurance group (as well as endurance.net).

There seem to be more and more gaited endurance riders in the
Northwest, though.
A few paso fino's (what I ride), Kentucky Mountain Horses, MFT's and
LOT's of TWH's.  So there is plenty of experience if you get on the
right list.

There is a ride Saturday June 11th, in Falls City, outside of Dallas,
OR that sounds really nice & very casual... good training ride. It's
the Yee Haw Tapawingo in Camp Tapawingo.

There are 15, 25 and 50 mile rides. It's non sanctioned, no shoes
required & mostly easy, beautiful forest and meadow trails. Horse water
is available, camp for the weekend in a flat pasture.

For inforamtion contact the ride manager, Chris Weber, at 503-623-8059.
It should be a fun ride!
