The 3 pictures on sand are at our favorite riding spot, Spring Creek, in Spring, TX. The photo with the plane in the background is at the Houston Intercontinental Airport, where I am a member of the Houston Airport Rangers, a volunteer security program. Gusto is an 11 year old half Arabian, half Shagya gelding. Thanks for letting me share!

Hi Ladies!
Long Rider’s Gear has always been my favorite place to buy endurance tack! I’m finally back on the endurance trail with my new guy, J.J. (Jovial Jubellee). Here we are last weekend at the “Tour de Cooley,” day 2 of the Cooley Ranch ride. His 2nd ride, we had a blast! I was lucky to be able to use my Ortho Flex saddle from my previous horse with him, which with the help of a Woolback pad, fits him perfectly! Much of the tack you see in the photo came from your store over the years, including the cantle bag, breast collar, reins and more.
When we’re not riding LD endurance, you’ll often find us on the trails as part of the California State Parks and Sonoma County Regional Parks Mounted Assistance Units. We love doing MAU work, providing assistance for lost hikers, clearing trail hazards and reporting problems to the head ranger. J.J. is such a steady individual, we also do Geocaching. This GPS guided treasure hunt is lots of fun, you can find out more at: www.geocaching.com.
Thanks for you years of hard work, keep it up!

This picture was taken by Lynne Glazer the first day of the Cuyama Oaks XP 2009. My 8 yr. old 1/2 Arab Pinto “Splash” and I had a great day, and she completed her 1st 50 mile endurance ride! Since then we’ve been zipping down the trail with 4 more 50’s under our belt!
See you on the trails!

My horse name is Pablo, my dog Roxie. One of the best place in the province of quebec i love to ride is Baie St-Paul,an hour and a half from quebec city. This is our small Wyoming as would say the owner of the place I go.
You must know that Roxie comes always in trail with us when we are not too much people, not more than 4.
We (my husband and me) bought a trailer with a hut (Lakota) and we try to see many places in quebec. Maybe next year, we will go in the state if we can find a nice place not too far from home.
I hope you’ll understand because I dont use my english very often.
 My horse Pabli, is a rocky mountain horse who comes directly from the us state of Kentuky. |

Good morning Ladies,
Marie, Bev, Mike and I all enjoyed meeting you in person. It is always so much fun to put faces with email ids and voices on the phone. Here is a picture Marie created for the CA State Parks and of course our ride in September. We have more and would love to be on your newsletter.
Enjoy the trail,

I am the Trails Representative for the NJ Horse Council and wrote the NJ Horse Trails book. I am a trail rider. Every so often I ride in parades for the fun of it and to let people who aren’t expose to horses see and touch a horse. Major Withdrawal is a TWH and we have been partners coming up to 3 years.
The day of the Morris Plains Parade the weather was cool and at the last minute I decided to take my Boston Terrier (Potter) with me. I told parade participants that I purchased a matching pair - one grew and the other didnt. People who wouldn’t have noticed the horse were attracted to the dog - then the dog and horse working together. Good PR
We do trail ride together. Potter will trail ride on leash but when we get into the back woods and no one is around, he is off leash.
 Judy Whiting, the photographer (973-377-2000) - location was Morris Plains, New Jersey (near Morristown,) Every year they contract me to come ride in their parade, this year the weather was good so my puppy wouldn't pant or have hot feet - he got to participate too. |
 Photo by Martin Kavanagh - we were riding a hunterpace - it was a very long ride - The photographer was standing in the middle of the field - My friend purchased the photograph in return for trailering her to the ride. |
 Janice won the National Trail Worker Award at the National Trails Symposium in Nov 2008. |

Here is a poem I wrote about our adventures on the trails together.
When you reach for the Stars and catch the wind,
When you look into the face of fear and see the eyes of God,
When you stand at the brink of danger and ride on, Together,
Happy, joyous and free, That is Smokie and Me!!

This is my nephew, Austin Kaufmann (age 7), having a riding lesson on our Arab gelding, Gunner (age 27), a former NATRC National Champion, who is retired to being a lesson horse. However, the way Austin rides and the way Gunner enjoys it, they may be headed for an endurance career! Austin would rather go fast than listen to his instructor, Aunt Priscilla. The breast collar, reins, and the stirrup covers came from Long Riders Gear. Don't remember about the water bottle holders.
