NW: Owyhee Hallowed Weenies
Come join us on November 1! Wear a Halloween costume!
It's fall in Owyhee County - weather can be almost anything! Generally dry but could be warm or cold, ya never know! And there might be a little wind. Trails will consist of single track trails, jeep roads, cow paths, sand washes, ridge tops - and the footing is pretty decent! Some rocky sections but nothing really horid. Rolling terrain, but a generally easy-moderate trail. You'll be riding south to Hart Creek, and across Triangle Rd for a loop around the Browns Ck drainage for the first loop. The second loop will be single track trails, cow trails, jeep roads, a little bit of everything - north a bit, then south a bit, should be a fun trail.
Ride is based out of the Teeter ranch in Oreana, Idaho. Easy access off of Hwy 78. Showers and toilets.

CT: Indian Territory
I just got off the trails at Lake Oologah and they look GREAT! There has been no flooding so come to Blue Creek Campground at Lake Oologah near Claremore, OK, next weekend!
There are two 25-mile rides and one 50-mile ride. If you want to elevate to a 50 but don't want to take a chance on losing your 25-mile completion, this ride is for YOU! The LD and endurance rides start at 8:00 AM and the 2nd LD ride starts at 2:00 PM. Of course you may either ride the same horse or a different horse on the second LD ride; if you ride the same horse, the second entry fee is half price!
One of the philanthropic organizations to which I belong is collecting $5 gift cards (McDonalds, Burger King, WalMart, etc) to give to the Shriner's Hospital in Shreveport, LA. The Hospital uses the cards as incentives for the children to complete their treatment that day. If you wish to donate $5 gift cards that will go directly to the Shriner's Hospital in Shreveport, please bring your card(s) to this ride and I'll give them to the van driver taking kids to LA. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Please text, call, or email Link or I with your RSVP (coming only) and any questions. We appreciate your continued support of Indian Territory and look forward to seeing you this coming weekend (October 4) at Lake Oologah near Claremore (or Foyle), OK.

NW: Oregon 100/PacNorth Benefit
The Oregon 100/PacNorth Benefit will be held on September 20 2014.
Donations needed!
Dear PacNorth members, riders, and friends~ I'm asking each of you who have benefited from, may benefit from, or just want to contribute to the funds raised by the Oregon 100 endurance ride each year, to help with getting awards donated for this year's ride, 9/20 in Brothers Oregon A personal request to a contact you know is much more effective than any form letter I send. As a benefit ride, the more donated items I get, the less I spend and the more we have to turn over to Pac North. I need your help! We're looking for new, quality goods that endurance riders like and use. Would you each ask your favorite tack dealer or vendor for a donation of something that will lead to supporting PacNorth efforts? We need 1st place, BC and high vet score awards for each of the 4 distances (25, 50, 75 and 100). Past items have included biothane goods, sets of leg wraps, gift certificates to tack catalogs and services, ice boots, halter/leads, blankets/sheets, riding apparel -- shirts, tights, jackets (sizing needs to be flexible), supplements popular with endurance riders, Ulcerguard, ride entries, wine, hay bags, buckets, and other wonderful items. If I get a bounty of goods, I will combine some of the smaller items into one award. This ride benefits completely from the generous donations of time and goods from many in our endurance community. We welcome any sponsored awards for your favorite breed, too.
Please forward this to any others who you think may be interested in helping us out and apologies if you receive multiple copies of this. Any questions can be directed to me.
PacNorth is a 501 3c non-profit and we can provide a tax letter for any donation.
The Oregon 100 is promoted as a PacNorth fundraiser, and we wanted to be sure riders know just what the PacNorth is and what the money is used for.
Established as a not-for-profit organization, PacNorth helps provide funding for regional, national and international endurance championships. As an example, a North American Zone Team Challenge was held in Kentucky in 2009. PacNorth sent a team of six riders, and the funds raised at the Oregon 100 were used to pay for the team chef and the team vets to attend the event. Dewayne Brown was sponsored this past year in Florida at the North American Zone Team Challenge. PacNorth also tries to give back to the riders that support the PacNorth fundraiser by sponsoring speakers for the PNER convention.
If you are a member of AERC and AERC-I you are automatically a member of PacNorth. You do not need to compete internationally to be a member. PacNorth holds an annual meeting during the PNER convention, and any member can attend and have input into the organization. We hope all of you attend, and we thank you for your support of the Oregon 100. Enjoy the ride!
We also of course need volunteers. Please contact Carol Giles if you can help out. NO experience necessary! It’s a great way to learn, meet people, and have a great time in the desert. Thanks!
Many thanks,

NW: Prater Mountain
Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that Prater Mountain Endurance Ride and fun ride will be on Sept 13. Dale has done an amazing job with the trails. There is plenty of water both natural and in tubs on the trail. The fun ride is about 13 miles long, not technical, will prove to be a blast!
All vet checks are in camp, and close to the chuck wagon.
The awards are to die for!
Elkins Resort (www.elkinsresort.com) will be sponsoring the best condition awards this year, the top ten awards are unique and very cool. You won't find another like them anywhere. The completion awards are more like top ten awards where I come from.
Sgt. Reckless's handler will be at ride camp to share stories about this amazing little filly. A true hero and war horse in the Korean War, this 5 year old mare carried artillery 35 miles one way on her own... Check out the video http://youtu.be/YIo3ZfA9da0
Ride camp is level and the view is spectacular. The trails have some elevation to them, so bring a fit horse. If you are planning to come a day or two early please email either Dale at maryandale@gmail.com or Tara at twpumpkin@hotmail.com .
This is the first time a ride has been hosted in the Priest River area. Please lets make this a yearly event. I'd hope to see many folks embrace this neck of the woods and experience the Crown Jewel of North Idaho. Its going to be a great ride!

W: Chalk Rock
Redwoodendurance.comChalk Rock Ride: June 7 and 8, 2014
The Redwood Empire Endurance Riders (REER) invite you to join us at this year’s Chalk Rock Endurance Ride.
For nearly 35 years, the Barnwell Family has graciously allowed Redwood Empire Endurance Riders to host our Chalk Rock Endurance Ride at their beautiful private ranch. Established in 1884, the ranch is a model for timber harvest practices recognized by state and federal agencies. It is also a working cattle ranch. Riders love the stunning panoramic views as they ride through meadows and around the beautiful Chalk Mountain itself.
A two-day this year, Chalk Rock will have an LD and a 50-miler on both days. Hoof protection will be required. The ride camp atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the focus lies with maintaining happy, healthy horses and having fun amongst good company. This year's ride will integrate the newly pioneered trails on last year's 2013 ride. Trails are primarily on both maintained, and older/unmaintained/softer footing logging roads.
RIDE CAMP: Ridecamp offers a bi-level grassy meadow bordered with redwood trees and a creek. Horse water will be troughed from the creek. Please bring your own drinking water.
DIRECTIONS: From Highway 101, take the Highway 36 exit just south of Fortuna. Continue east on 36 for about 30 miles to the bridge at Bridgeville. Turn right at the end of the bridge; you'll be heading for Blocksburg. Follow signs about 2 miles until you see a marked pipe and wire gate on the right side of the road. Turn right into camp.
From I-5, take Highway 36 from Red Bluff to Bridgeville and turn left at the bridge; then follow the above directions. If you're unfamiliar with Highway 36, turn up your trailer brakes before heading down McClellan Mountain into Bridgeville and USE LOW GEAR.
RIDE RULES: The Chalk Rock Endurance Ride will comply with all AERC, REER & State of California Rules and Regulations. All equines must have some type of hoof protection to enter the rides. Dogs are welcome in camp, but must leashed at all times.
FOOD: A ride dinner is included in each entry. Extra dinner tickets are available on the entry form.
ENTRY FORM NOTES: Download adult and junior rider entry forms here or at the foot of this page. Limited Distance and 50-miler riders must show proof of current AERC membership or pay a $15 non-member fee. Checks are cashed as they are received.
CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY: If the Ride Manager or Ride Secretary receives notice 14 days or more before the ride, REER will refund your full entry fee. If notice comes within 14 days of the ride, REER will refund your entry less a $25 administration fee. REER members may cancel up to noon on Thursday before the ride and receive a full refund. After noon on Thursday, a $25 admin fee will be withheld for members as well. No shows get no refund.
CONTACT INFO: Questions/concerns? Please email or call Ride Secretary Audra Homicz: dogwoodspringsfarm@yahoo.com, (530) 739-3467.

CT: Pokie Oakie Pioneer
Come to the one and only Central Region Pioneer Ride May 9-11, 2014!
The ride is at Lake Carl Blackwell (OK), which is a wonderful campground with some electrical hookups. Showers and real bathrooms are just down the road at another campground. It is seven miles from OSU vet school and less than that to Walmart, Braums, and other places to restock. The trails are easy, flat, and barefoot friendly. There are no awful dirt roads to camp!
Deb Dickson is the new ride manager and she is really wanting this to be a successful ride so she is offering some SWEET incentives !
The ride fee is $100 for the 50 and $65 for the 25, but she is offering a discount of $15 for the second and/or third day! This makes it quite reasonable to bring that young horse you are starting and ride the entire time! This makes it only $150 to ride three days of limited distance, enjoy a great potluck every night, and have plenty of time to socialize with your friends! The weather is going to be great the first of May!
PS Ride Managers! Deb is offering a $10 discount to all current 2014/2013 ride managers in appreciation for your selfless work! And JUNIORS ride free! How much better can this get???
If you preenter you are entered in a raffle for a free entry!

SW: Listening Horse Therapeutic Riding 25/50
Come spend April 26-27 with us, competing in an AERC sanctioned endurance ride in the southern Caja del Rio, which is just west of Santa Fe, New Mexico!
Haul in on Friday, ride Saturday-Sunday, and haul home on Monday!
Our base camp will, once again, be at the lovely Santa Fe Equestrian Center. There's plenty of space in camp for large rigs and your equines will be stabled in covered pipe corrals. An arena has been set aside for warm up and turnouts!
There will be plenty of horse water, with fun, well-marked trails (and good footing) on ride day. Riders will be treated to scenic vistas of the Rio Grande valley and Sangre de Cristo Mountains. We hope to have a good ride for the green horse and for riders new to endurance.
This ride is being held by Listening Horse Therapeutic Riding, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Profits will be used to support their Santa Fe program. We encourage riders to raise donations for Listening Horse.

MT: Ft Meade Remount
July 29-31, 2014The Ft. Meade Remount Endurance Ride, sanctioned by the American Endurance Rider's Conference, started in 2007. The idea for the ride at this site came from my mom, Millie Humphrey, an avid horse and mule rider who rode cavalry horses in this area in the 1940s. Anyone who loves history will love riding The Remount.
We are excited to share this accessible, beautiful and historic location with you. Each year our goal is to provide a safe, interesting, well-marked, and challenging ride where riders believe they receive support from ride management and veterinarians.
The ride takes place at the Fort Meade Recreation Area, located in the Black Hills near Sturgis, South Dakota. The 6,693 acres of forest and grassland in the recreation area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Numerous historic structures are along the trail or visible from the trail. Riders will have access to the Fort Meade Cavalry Museum, Bear Butte State Park, Fort Meade Post Cemetery and the Black Hills National Cemetery (called the Arlington of the West). Eleven miles of the 111 mile Centennial Trail (Interagency National Recreation Trail) run through this recreation area. We also utilize Bear Butte State Park, City of Sturgis, Fort Meade Veteran's Administration, National Forest Service, State of South Dakota and private land for this ride.
RIDE CAMP is located at Alkali Creek Trailhead, approximately l/2 mile from Interstate 90 at Exit 34. The elevation is 3,450 feet. While Sturgis, Interstate 90 and Highway 34 are adjacent to the ride area, this land is pristine and very natural. It has an abundance of grass, pine, oak, fruit bushes, sand rock outcroppings, deer, birds, packed dirt trails and natural water. There are very few irritating bugs.
TRAILS We utilize the Centennial Trail, other single-track and double-track trails, pasture, dirt roads, and some gravel roads. Footing is good. We recommend shoes or boots on day 2.
PHOTOGRAPHER Paschal and Deb Karl (Karl Creations) will be taking photos during the ride. They will be available for purchase.
VETERINARIANS Our 2009 veterinarian team will be back for 2011. Head vet is Leon Self DVM from the Central Region. Our other two vets are also experienced endurance vets: Liz Boos DVM and Irina Weese DVM, both from the Mountain Region.
RULES All rules of the AERC and the Fort Meade Recreation Area will be enforced by ride management. No metal detectors are allowed in this area. Hay MUST be certified weed free. We will have CWF grass hay available but please let me know at least one week in advance if you need hay and number of bales. There is plentiful grazing in and around camp. All riders and volunteers must sign a liability waiver. Juniors must wear approved helmets.
You may bring your dogs but NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED OFF LEASH ON THE FORT MEADE RECREATION AREA. No dogs will be allowed at meals or meeting.
CAMPING We will utilize Alkali Creek Campground and Alkali Creek Horse Camp as well as grassy areas along the Byway. We will have someone direct you to a suitable area. You may tie your horses or put up small corrals or electric corrals. These campgrounds are grassy, have vault toilets, potable water, trees, covered eating area, dumpsters, and a seasonal creek. PLAN TO RECYCLE GLASS, PLASTIC, ALUMINUM, TIN, CARDBOARD, AND NEWSPAPER. Manure will be put into a manure spreader. Muck buckets and wheelbarrows will be available.
MEALS Snacks and drinks will be provided at Thursday night's ride meeting, which will be held at the Fort Meade Cavalry Museum. The trolley will be available for riders who do not wish to drive to the meeting. Friday and Saturday evening meals will be catered and are included in your ride entry. Please let us know if you are bringing guests so we can supply the caterer with an approximate number of meals. Restaurants and grocery stores as well as a liquor store are two miles from camp in Sturgis. I encourage you to patronize businesses in Sturgis. We can have bonfires every night.
EMERGENCY Cell phone service is available in camp and on the majority of the trail. We will supply you with important numbers. Excellent surgical/veterinary facilities as well as a hospital/clinic/ER are available in Sturgis if needed.
PLANNING Please let me know if you are coming. It is helpful if we have all information so we can start putting it in the computer before the ride.
AMENITIES We have made arrangements for you to take showers and check your e-mail at a local campground for a nominal fee.
VOLUNTEERS We love our volunteers. Most of them help us every year and many are children who love horses. We appreciate smiles and kind words, since that is the only payment for helping you and your horse.
