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.

Charlesey,

hey, thats a great finish! Good pictures, your horse is beautiful.

Oh, and I must say that pictures of that catfish literally makes me squirmish....very disturbing to see a catfish that large.
