About Me:
I'm a vet student in my second year at Washington State University. I attended my first endurance ride in 2005 to help vet, and have been completely in love since. I have a five-year-old Araloosa that comes home from training on February 1st (weather permitting). I'm really looking forward to getting to know him again and to riding a horse that actually has a gas pedal. I've also got a Belgian mare, Callie, who I love totally. She's my current adventure horse, and we love riding out and seeing the scenery. She's a big teddy bear.

I thought you were pretty accurate! I'd be interested to stay in contact with you (and Cricket) through the next few months to see how he progresses. I'd also be interested in learning how to do th... Read More »

Cricket's Progress

Cricket and I have been having a lot of fun getting to know eachother these past few weeks. However, I noticed that recently he'd started acting really cinchy when I tighten the girth and kept wanting to move off when I went to mount. Also, he'd been doing some head tossing while we were riding. I thought maybe he was annoyed that I wanted to keep contact on his mouth so I tried riding in a rope halter a few times. While he did just fine with this, it didn't really solve our problem. (The traine…

Cricket's Home!

I moved Cricket to his new barn on Sunday between snow storms. It was a pretty big gamble with the roads, but luckily, they were clear and despite some strong winds, we made it back safely. He settled in immediately, which surprised me since I had so many people telling me he'd be a maniac for a couple weeks whenever we went anywhere new. I really think having him turned out and on grass hay again is making a huge difference, but he took the whole move in such stride it's almost as if he knew he…

First good ride!

I kind of mentioned a little about the whole thing in my "about me", but I'll probably change that soon to reflect the new and improved Cricket. I'll just tell the whole story. I'm fairly new to endurance, and so far have only volunteered at rides and done a few conditioning rides on friends' horses during the summer. I love everything about the sport so far, and am looking forward to finally getting to actually participate. I've ridden consistently since I was twelve, and took seven years of we…

Hi Elly, I did a few rides last year so we may have met if you were helping the vet. If you're ever out at the Eagle foothills to ride give me a shout as I board out there. The ice is finally melting so I'm off to ride!

Wow, you're sharp! That IS a border collie/blue healer! Her name is Katie Mae and she is a nut as you would expect!

My dad went to Wash State vet school, but ended up becoming an airline pilot instead of a vet!

Good luck to you!!

Hi Elly,
I just joined also. My husband barefoot trims 2 Belgians. They are incrediable animals. I have never been around Belgians before. Both of them are saddle trained and I have been invited to ride them some time. They are so....big. Good luck with your other boy. Linda

I don't think the average Endurance Rider has IV supplies at hand.
Nor do most have IV drugs on hand. I personally do have Bute paste
now. Nearly every Endurance Rider I know has a first aid kit at some
level or another.

Bare necessities for me are: Vet Wrap, ice wraps, bandage (usually a
kotex) for bleeding, polo wraps. All of this I can carry on the
saddle have in the trailer.
