Biltmore Estate

After a long weekend of endurance riding we all decided to visit the famous Biltmore Mansion. I must say I was very sceptical, but it was really worth while and very beautiful. Here are some pictures from the grounds. Enjoy.

Biltmore South East Endurance Ride

OK so Jamie, me, and Charlene went to the Mounting Hopes Endurance Ride this weekend at Biltmore in Asheville N.C. and had a freaking blast. Charlene and I are no longer allowed to leave camp site unsupervised.

Anyway Dan (my horse) did GREAT!! We completed # 38 out of 78 other riders in the 30 mile race with a time of 5 hours and 7 mins!!!! What a champ! So long story short is as always when Charlene and I get together we create havoc, and mayhem! But man we sure do look good and have a good time doing it!!!

Charlene rode a cute little Arab for a man wanting some miles on the colt. Bad news is that she was pulled at the midway vet check due to a scrape on the horses knees (due to a fall) and he was ever so slightly off at a trot.

Jamie did a wonderful job crewing!!! He took such good care of Char and me!

As I was saying the ride went great for me and Dan, the only problem we had was about 3 miles out from finishing, I was litterly close-lined OFF my horse, due to a very stupid vine hanging in the middle of the trail....very inconsiderate vine, indeed!!!! So I have a very nice bruised bum and a wonderful scabby scrape on my neck.
