Nevada is THE ROCKIEST endurance ride state! some people come to our rides and say, "Is it rocky here?" I size them up and see if they are from Nevada (and I say, "nope") or not (and I say, "In a few places".)<br /> - <a href="http://theequestrianvagabond.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Equestrian Vagabond</a>The Equestrian Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600011873327347121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-47685968019912665032012-10-11T14:19:05.259-07:002012-10-11T14:19:05.259-07:00Lovely photos, thank you for sharing.

You had the sunsets, I had a few nice sunrises :-)<br />Check Dixie's weight - if she's dropped a few pounds, then the saddle might be bothering her now. Weight back, problem goes away... Just my 2 cents. I see Dixie is "furring up" too!HHmsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129136410081149976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-17823234586833621512012-10-09T17:19:56.189-07:002012-10-09T17:19:56.189-07:00:blush::blush:Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-77893495085724135662012-10-09T17:19:33.786-07:002012-10-09T17:19:33.786-07:00Hahah, no, it's a joke.

Beautiful ride and fabulous photos.<br /><br />I do have a question, though...about this: "It's Nevada, so we import rocks where necessary to meet the Nevada AERC Quota."<br /><br />Really? Do they really bring rocks in? Just curious.

I know it's probably a pain but it sounds fun... except those rocks looked nasty. LOL about importing rocks though.

I miss...So glad you guys had an enjoyable weekend. I missed you all and thought about everyone all day. The weather was so nice for a ride. Was sad to miss out on seeing all my friends. You and Dixie are doing so awesome! I was thinking the other day how you're just the kind of person that's such as a mentor in the sport. Someone who can appreciate how easy - yet hard - it is. Someone who can get it done, but has had the failures and bumps along the road to help learn from. Those people that are like, "Oh, my horse and I did our first 50 and top tenned. It was a piece of cake" just aren't the ones to be bringing along new people. Most of us have a few hurdles to overcome and it's great to see a pair like you and Miss D who have done just that and are a successful team now.
