Shoes it will be for me for competition! It's nice that I have a friend as a farrier and we trade specialties so I don't pay for the shoeing!Liz Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267806576736655184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015542471965618966.post-21514046766423993172016-02-24T12:04:25.445-05:002016-02-24T12:04:25.445-05:00Well it's as I can do weekend warrior style lo...Well it's as I can do weekend warrior style lol I can't wait for the season to get going though- it's going to be awesome. <br /><br />Keeping fingers and toes crossed about the boots, I really need all the luck I can get...I admit to holding back on even thinking about them until I really had to.<br /><br />Sorry to hear how frustrating boots have been for you though ): Are the Renegades giving you problems and you're planning to shoe Q for rides then?

I already told myself not to get my hopes up too high and to not stress ourselves over it if they don't.

Tho...Don't get me wrong, I love to go fast too! Though I used to ride with some timid riders all the time so it's second nature for me to check in if others are ready to move out. I just sort of expected/hoped it was the norm when riding with other experienced horse people :P Grace Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940229993479813381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015542471965618966.post-54901637627672900572016-02-23T06:19:31.599-05:002016-02-23T06:19:31.599-05:00So much training!

Sounds like you're off to a great start. I hope you have better luck than I ultimately did! A slew of broken gaiters and shredded cables of late has me thoroughly DONE with them. Too much hassle to go out and do something that should be FUN.

One of my favorite things about endurance rides is the ability to ride with so many different people throughout. I'll catch up to someone or have them catch me and hang for a while until one of us wants to change pace and then we part ways. <br /><br />Good luck with the hoof boots. I really hope they work out for you and I am looking forward to your updates.

But I've also been the rider cavorting around not realizing until too late that others were running into trouble (literally). Glad nothing worse happened on your ride with that group!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.com
