Mare and I rode 15.1 miles on Saturday and 10.7 miles on Sunday as safety riders for the CTR. But I "lost" those miles for the DD2014 since I didn't get them posted before the 7 day deadline. :( <br /><br />We had a blast, the river was high and safety riders were needed to escort several riders across. On the mountain on the highest point we ride to a group of riders took a wrong turn and continued UP the mountain. They got to a place too steep to ride and had to dismount then turn the horses loose (one at a time) to go back down the trail to be caught and tied while the riders walked down. Because they were of the trail the rule about no forward motion on the trial while dismounted rule did not apply. All the riders lost about 45 minutes but managed to make up the time with trotting and waiting at obstacles. I hope the lesson they learned was to follow the ribbons!!Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-32230914176522373892014-07-09T11:24:40.239-05:002014-07-09T11:24:40.239-05:00Still working on trails for the CTR on July 19 and...Still working on trails for the CTR on July 19 and 20.

I have not recovered from the loss of my horse but, like Grandpa always said, I got back on. I rode the Mare which is my back up horse and several friends have graciously offered horses to ride. Looks like I will be posting some miles after all. :)<br /><br />If you will add 7.14 miles on 6/19 to my total I would appreciate it.Distance Derbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320728163683536681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-49592350802236737702014-04-22T13:23:53.310-05:002014-04-22T13:23:53.310-05:00April 21 road riding because the trails are still ...April 21 road riding because the trails are still too soft 3.12 miles<br /><br />YTD 21.84Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-79765010588932823122014-04-13T21:46:44.530-05:002014-04-13T21:46:44.530-05:00April 12 MAT + SAR Training ride at Two Rivers, Bu...April 12 MAT + SAR Training ride at Two Rivers, Butte, Alaska 6.25 miles<br /><br />YTD 18.72Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-47274231432804522722014-04-09T18:20:00.798-05:002014-04-09T18:20:00.798-05:00April 9 Blue skies, 30*, snow but not much ice 2.2...April 9 Blue skies, 30*, snow but not much ice 2.25 miles<br /><br />YTD 12.47Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-75611031175731494842014-03-30T23:54:26.944-05:002014-03-30T23:54:26.944-05:00March 30 1.95 miles

It's really a bizarre winter here as we have had temps in the 50s and the snow is rapidly melting. However under all the running water is ice, inches and inches of ice. It makes for treacherous walking much less riding. I will more than make up for lost time as soon as we can get on the trails!Jennynoreply@blogger.com
