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!

MW: Northern Highland Ride Cancelled
Due to unprecedented rain totals over the past few days, and the probability of more heavy rains Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the August 23-24 Northern Highland Ride for 2014 has been canceled. We are concerned about the potential risk to rigs getting in and out of camp and the private landowner is concerned about damage to their field. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this cancellation, and hope you will consider joining us in 2015. Please pass the word.
