Sorcha and I did our first endurance ride! We competed in intro which was 12.8 miles and doubled our usual speed. The beginning of the ride was a bit dicey when she kept bolting due to the excitement when everyone took off. We ended up joining two others and she worked hard to keep up plus was so good! It was impressive the team of vets at the ride since they take the health of the horse very seriously. During her vet check at the end of the ride, the vet said she pulsed so well that she could have done the 25 mile ride. We aren’t there yet but one day! We will never be the fastest and stick out from all the Arabians but we are there to have fun. She was such a saint camping at the Biltmore and we had a great time!
