W: Quicksilver Fall Classic
The Quicksilver Fall Classic in 2014 was limited to 70 rider and we had a
waiting list. This year is different. We behaved so well last year that the
ranger will allow more entrants for our October 3, 2015 ride. The perfect
fall ride awaits your pleasure. Don't be on the waiting list so that all
week you worry about whether you should be packing the horse trailer or not.
You know all those old horse magazines that you can't bear to throw out,
but are clogging up your house? Well bring them to our ride. We will have a
special table for you to spread them out on. In appreciation, you can grab
any that other people have brought. Any left the day after the ride will be
recycled. Now they have to be horse oriented. We do not want People, Sports
Illustrated or Architectural Digest. Just horsey magazines for horsey
people.
With the increase in the size of the ride, we definitely need more
volunteers. So earn your Brownie Scout badge by helping out on, before or
after ride day. Contact Lori Oleson at 408-710-5651 or Jayne Perryman at
408-828-5362 and you will make their day! And all the riders, too.
Check the AERC ride calendar, circle October 3rd, send in your entry and
smile, even if there is no one around to see it.
You know this ride will be Christmas, your birthday and the 4th of July all
rolled into one great day of rolling hills, shaded creek trails, great
companions, and then the real reason we are there....we are hopelessly, and
beyond redemption, in love with the horses.

NW: Oregon 100/Pac North
Oregon 100/Pac North Benefit is coming up Set. 19, in Brothers, Oregon. It's a great desert ride and absolutely perfect to move up in distance to the next level. This ride is a benefit ride for our Pac North FEI International Team. Everything is donated: awards, vet’s time, etc. All the profits go to the Team support and we depend on donations to get us there. Now that FEI is cleaning up the horse abuse issues that have gone on in some areas overseas we can focus on helping our Northwest riders.
Please consider donating those items to Oregon 100 that we can use for awards. Or you can make a cash donation to offset expenses, donate something of your choosing or contact vendors you know who might donate. Anything a rider can use or is horse/endurance related makes a great award.

NW: Lost-N-Lava
Join us on September 25, 2015
No, you won't get lost, but you will ride some picturesque country. Trails will consist of two tracks and ATV trails on BLM property. Some rocky areas, rolling hills, but lots of great footing to move out or just cruise around and enjoy the incredible scenery.
We'll have 25, 55, and 75-mile endurance distances. A 14-mile trail ride will be available. Ride Camp is on private land adjacent to the Big Wood River.
So please come and ride! Located just west of SH-75 about 20 miles north of Shoshone, Idaho. It's easy to get to if you pay attention to the mile markers on State Highway 75. The turn-off is on the west side between the Big Wood River Bridge and the Richfield Canal bridge. A sign will be at the turn-off.
If traveling northbound on SH-75, the turn-off is about 0.2 of a mile north of mile marker 92. If you go over the canal bridge you have gone too far. If traveling southbound turn right about 0.8' of a mile south of Mile Post 93. This is about 0.5 mile south of the Richfield Canal Bridge. If you go over the Big Wood River bridge you missed the turn.
Once you get on the two-track you will drive about 2.5 miles to camp. The two-track is kind of rough in places, so take your time. You will go through an antique yard and around a couple homes. Just keep following the ribbons. You will see a corral to your left with draft horses. Keep going. You'll go past a couple gates, turn another bend and find the nicest flattest camp you will ever see!
Dinner will be provided Saturday night. Ride meeting starts promptly at 7:00 Friday night. Head vet is Dr. Keith Rouble, DVM. We will also have a treatment vet on site per the rules and recommendations of AERC.
Horse water will be provided at camp and on the trail. Rides will start by going through the Big Wood River. The river is about 2-3 feet deep if there is water running through it. The river will probably be dry. The property owners train draft horses so be prepared to see draft horses pulling wagons.
Cost: $90 for 25 and 55 mile distances, $110 for 75-mile distance. Juniors half price. Non-AERC members will be charged a day membership of $15. Trail ride is $25 and you don’t need to be an AERC member. All minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult and wear a helmet. Dinner is included with your ride entry. Extra Saturday evening meals may be purchased for $10.00.
Dogs are welcome but must be leashed and all times. This ride camp is on private land, but the BLM permit has required that we use weed free hay. Weed free hay is required and can be purchased at the Valley Coop in Shoshone. I'll try to bring some for the trail. Start times will depend on the weather.

Bring Chairs – Like You Would for an Endurance Ride!
September 5 2015 9 am -4 pm.
You may come early (Friday) or leave late (Sunday)
Location: C Bar Ranch 611 P.R. 3348

Fees: Clinic is free, but there is a $10/day charge if you will be riding.
There is a $15/night charge if you wish to use a hook-up. You may
come for the day without your horse, and still enjoy a knowledge filled
day. If you wish to stay in the onsite cabin, it is 55 dollars for the first 2
guests and 15 dollars for each guest after that. The cabin can sleep
approx. 8.
The first part of the clinic will cover trail etiquette/safety/taking care of
your horse on trail. Riders will be broken up into groups of
approximately 2-3 with an experienced endurance rider assigned to
each group. One of our own endurance veterinarians who is also a rider
will perform a vet check on each horse, and explain the vet card to
participants. We will then break for lunch. (Please bring a “sack lunch.”
There is a refrigerator on site. We will provide gatorades and water for
all throughout the day.) The rest of the day will entail interesting and
informative lectures allowing for ample questions on various topics. Be
sure to bring your coggins!
