MW: Sisu On The Border
With great reluctance we have decided that we have to relocate Sisu on the Border to Sand Dunes State Forest, Orrock, MN. This venue change is necessary to prevent financial unacceptable financial losses caused by the probable decreased attendance due to the recent EHV-1 epidemic.

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!
So please, put this on your calendar and come! I know some horses in the pasture here that will be going to do a 25!!!

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.
