You canā€™t hurt my feelingsā€¦ I ride an Arabian. Arabians arenā€™t meanā€¦theyā€™re just incredibly smart, observant, and always paying attention. Theyā€™ll figure out your weaknesses, test your boundaries, and remember exactly what worked last time. You have to stay one step ahead of them, be consistent, and earn their respect. Once you learn how their minds work, that intelligence is one of the best things about them, but they may press a lot of your buttons along the way!

Iā€™ve heard people say, ā€œscrew you and the horse you rode in on,ā€ but honestlyā€¦ what did the horse ever do to you? šŸ˜‚ Nobody has actually said that to me, but if they ever do, Iā€™m definitely defending my horse. He was just there for the ride!

We loaded Orzel into the trailer, and the other two horses didnā€™t care. At all. Orzel didnā€™t care either.

We left the property, and Iā€™m pretty sure the horses still absolutely didnā€™t care. No whinnying, no drama, no grievingā€¦nothing.

But the moment Orzel came back TWO HOURS later, it was like heā€™d been gone for a FOUR-DAY endurance ride. šŸ˜‚

And then, of course, Orzel had to roll. Because apparently, thatā€™s what he does every time he comes home from an endurance ride.

I honestly didnā€™t think a two hour trailer ride was long enough to warrant the full ā€œWELCOME HOME FROM 4 DAYS ON THE TRAILā€ reunionā€¦ but apparently, Orzel disagreed.

Whenever I get a health certificate, I always have my vet do a trot-out to check my horseā€™s gait.

I donā€™t want to load a lame horse, drive hours to an endurance ride, and then find out he wonā€™t pass the pre-ride vet check. Talk about an expensive waste of a trip! šŸ˜‚

And because weā€™re crossing state lines, that $50 health certificate is worth the peace of mind. If we get stopped, I know I have the paperwork required to legally travel with my horse and they canā€™t fine me or quarantine my horse for up to 60 days!

If you go to an endurance ride as a spectator, youā€™re going to see us for about a minute at a time as we ride off into the distance or as we emerge from a trail.

Youā€™ll see us leave camp, maybe catch us coming through a vet check or an out-and-back, and thenā€¦ weā€™re gone again.

The rest of the ride? You have absolutely no idea whatā€™s happening. You donā€™t see the climbs, the miles, the water crossings, the good moments, the struggles, or the decisions being made out on trail. You just wait. And when we finally come back into camp, we get to tell you the entire story of what happened during all those miles you didnā€™t get to see. Which is probably why endurance riding is the worst spectator sport ever.

I wish every horse discipline required a veterinary inspection before you were allowed to compete.

Not because every horse needs to be perfect, but because making sure a horse is fit and sound enough to compete should always come first.

Endurance has taught me just how valuable those checks are. AERC endurance vets check:

1. Pulse
2. Mucous membranes
3. Capillary refill
4. Jugular refill
5. Gut sounds
6. Skin tenting
7. A**l tone
8. Muscle tone
9. Back & withers
10. Tack galls
11. Wounds
12. Gait
13. Impulsion
14. Attitude
15. Overall impression
16. Heart-rate recovery / CRI
17. Examiner comments

Just moving cows and making some miles! I was really only supposed to be putting miles behind us, but if cows happen to be in the way of our miles, theyā€™re gonna have to move. šŸ˜‚

And Orzel? He is more than happy to scoot them along.

100 miles!!!!!šŸŖ»Old Selam Endurance RidešŸŖ»

Low quality photo but the highest quality horse. This was Orzel and Iā€™s first 100 mile ever and I couldnā€™t be prouder of him. We finished in 17 1/2 hours with 15 hours ride time from the 2 1/2 in mandatory vet holds. From the easy start to finishing in the pouring rain. He was a trooper through all of it and had wonderful vet scores all day. My perfect perfect watermelon boy. šŸ‰

Heā€™s a good drinker, so naturally heā€™s a good peer too .

He had absolutely no shame about using the creek as his personal bathroom. Such a guy.

Honestly, Iā€™ll take a horse who drinks and pees freely over one who wants to hold everything in!
