Pull Codes Used in Endurance

excerpts from an article by Melissa Ribley, DVM, Veterinary Committee Chair, May 2007 Endurance Veterinarian Newsletter

Southeastern Equestrian Trails Conference
July 9 - 12 2009 -- The Paramount Plaza Hotel, Gainsville, Florida

The conference starts Thursday, July 9th and ends Sunday, July 12th with some awesome workshops and speakers. We hope that you can fit this event into your budget and summer schedule, as this opportunity does not come often! You can meet the hard working and wonderful people behind the scenes that help preserve, conserve, maintain and plan our beautiful trails. You can be a part of this team, your trails need you! Here’s a little history and what to expect at this event!

Making $ents out of Sustainability…Green Horses is the theme for SETC 2009. We will explore ways to build better trails...protect water quality at creek/river crossings, at horse camps, and at our own farms. Additional topics will cover a broad range of subjects, such as equestrians and politics, organizing volunteers, funding for trail projects, managing shared-use trails, trail design and construction, cultural heritage, manure management and equine economic impacts, carbon footprints, invasive exotics, conservation easements and more! If we want to preserve historical use of horses on public and private lands, we need to educate ourselves to be good (green) stewards. There will be numerous Mobile Workshops on Thursday (pre-conference) and Sunday (post-conference). Plan to attend to learn more about policy, planning and politics!

Why We Do Endurance...  by Laura Hayes

I happen to be returning from a very enjoyable, albeit snowy, training ride, I have made myself a cup of coffee and am feeling very mellow.

This is why I do endurance (20+ years now) and how I explain it to the 'locals' who think I just go out there and 'rum around':

Tip of the Day!

~ Horses need to rehydrate, feed, and rest by about 15 miles. Horses rehydrating early do much better.
