Jackie, I just joined the group and came accross your note. This is my second "serious" year riding endurance. We did 10 LD rides last year and two 50's so...
Hi Paul, I am really glad to hear from someone who is riding a Paso Fino successfully on LD rides. I have given my horse a couple of months off and am just...
Jackie, You asked about what Pete looks like. Here are couple of pictures from last years ride season. I think he is just under 15h. I will have to look at...
OK, small world here. The Paso Fino I recently bought was bred by Patty O'Rourke. He's got great bone, plenty of "Go!", and we seem to click. Don't get me...
Not a problem Tracey, especially since we have not been able to connect for locally for training rides. Are you going to do a 50? I have convinced myself to...
Paul, Paula was the breeder, and the endurance rider was Jan Zito, also an owner/breeder of Paso Finos. His name is Milagro del Arco Iris, and has his very...
Hi everyone, Thanks for letting us be a part of your group. Rod and I live on the Western side of Mt Hood in ZigZag, close to lots of riding areas. We have TW,...
Hi, there ~ Didn't get your name (but we know your hubby's name is Rod!). We have one fiery Paso Fino and three Peruvian Pasos. Oh, and one pot-bellied pinto...
Tracey, I am not ignoring your question about our mare's bloodlines. I just have not gotten around to looking for her papers. Maybe this weekend. -paul ... ...
Hi all, Thank you Tracey for inviting me to join the group. I have a 5 year old Icelandic gelding. I will confess that I have never done an endurance ride....
Hi Karen!! Welcome to the group! I have several young horses in training now, and am riding a great gelding who makes a nice "babysitter", am at Hardy Creek...
Everybody keeps mentioning Hardy Creek. I guess we'll have to try it. Does anybody ride up at Riley's horse camp at Ramona Falls? That is just up the street...
Brenda, Are you going to Prineville? I'm getting the pre-ride jitters a litte early. We're going out of town around noon today and will be back on Sunday...
Karen, Great to see you here! Well, you can't really participate in an endurance ride without the conditioning that goes along with it, so I think you're good ...
I am planning on riding the 25 at Prineville--unfortunately, NOT on a gaited horse, sigh..... I'll be riding a very loud poka-dotted appaloosa that belongs to...
Hi Paul, thanks for sharing the photos. I have been waiting to get this one of my husband and our half Paso, Cuervo, scanned in so that you could see how much...
12 yr Paso Fino mare, 14.1H, gray, well trained ex show horse, but now hates arena work. Fabulous on trails, smooth gaits, very pretty. Owner is very open to...
For those in the Pacific NW, I off to my second ride of the season - Klickitat Trek, near beautiful Mt. Adams. I figured I should do one more 25 before...
... Huge congrats!! I know how long you've waited to do this. Hope the ride was fun, and both you and Milagro "vet" out well. Terry B/Salem WVI WEBMAIL -...
Greetings to all and welcome to summer. Those of you who look ahead know about the "Northwest Labor Day Endurance Ride" in Mount Vernon Wash on Sept 4th and...
what about talking the vets (or experienced objective gaited person) into doing a seperate "best condition" judging for the gaited horses? Scored on mileage...
Whoo-hooo! :-) Count me in. Well, I would imagine it would be best to have separate prizes for both distances... maybe $50 for the LD and maybe $75 for the...
Hi Benda thanks for the feedback all good ideas I think that a prize or ribbon for best conditioned would be great. I don't think that I am ready to get...
Hi, thanks for your prompt and enthusiastic reply. Not to mention your offer to up the anti and have a little reward for both distances. Great idea. As I...
Hi! I'm new to your group. I live in Alaska, with a Paso Fino (From Washington) an assortment of dogs, a Maine Coon Cat, and last but not least, a husband of...
Hi everyone Renaissance Farms - I hope you are checking your e-mail. The summer has been flying by and now I'm frantically preparing for the Labor Day ride in...
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I will not be attending the Labor Day ride as once hoped, but would still honor my offer to help w/ prize money....
In a rush. Leaving about noon tomorrow. I will check my email before I go. If you are putting up a prize for the Labor day ride please let me know (I don't...
I was hoping to see some gaited endurance horses on this ride but on that front I was disappointed. The only ones there were my Pasoloosa and my sister's Fox...
