May 5, 2008:

Hi Guys,

We just did the Biltmore 100. It was so spectacularly scenic. It was like riding through Disneyland. The grounds are immaculately kept. It must be a landscapers dream job (or nightmare). At one point you ride by a large pond with Canadian geese and on the hilltop in the background, above the pond is the mansion/ castle. The mansion reflects brilliantly in the pond for a stunning scene. Smitty (Sir Smith) and Gem (Cal Flaming Emit) did really great. They went through the whole ride together and then at the end of the day, they tied for third. The ride manager played back a video of the finish (Jeremy and I holding hands trotting) to see if they could see who was third and fourth because they did not really want us to tie. After reviewing the tape they couldn't decide. That's a true racehorse for you. They crossed together, neither wanted to "lose".

Both horses looked great at the BC trot out. The Vet even commented to me that he had given Gem a 9 on gait and impulsion and he then said that that really meant a lot as he does not give those out. He said," I have not seen a horse move like that in a long time". So that felt good. Neither won BC however, darn.

I hope all is well with you.

Heather

If you ever have the opportunity to ride this ride, do. We were extremely lucky with the weather and it did not rain (much) on us. The humidity was also being nice to us. It only got muggy briefly throughout the day.

April 26 Weekend:

Hi guys,

The endurance ride was really fun. It rained on Friday night, which is an improvement as we did not get wet this time! Jeremy and our friend/ endurance exercise rider, Sarah, rode horses that had never done a 50. Jeremy was on Donatella and Sarah on Djubilee. I rode Jeremy's horse Merchant. All three horses did very well. The two new ones handled everything really well. There was a lot of wide open fields through out the race. Both mares didn't mind at all when horses galloped by them in the morning. We also had to go over overpasses, bridges, wide rivers, tunnels that echoed and there were bikes as well. The horses were brilliant. At the vet checks they all recovered right away, Djubilee was actually down to 48 when we got our P&R's!

On our way out of the last vet check we saw a red fox. How appropriate, as the ride was called the "Foxcatcher 50". Any how the weekend was a success. The race was very well run and once again there was a catered meal on Friday evening immediately following the ride briefing. It seems to be the way it goes here. You check in, get a participation award and then have a nice meal after the ride meeting and then do the ride the next day. It is really nice actually. You get to visit on Friday, race and then go home or just relax afterwards.

Today we picked up a Cre Run gelding that is for sale. He is absolutely stunning. He is a 7 year old grey and has been foxhunting for the last couple of years. He has FEI written all over him. See him here on this page-- his name is Anydaynow.

Next weekend we are doing the Biltimore 100. I can't wait to see how pretty it is there. I will keep you posted.

"Sal is a movie star! We filmed a commercial for Auburn – Endurance Capitol of The World. In the commercial, I rode him at a canter WITH NO HANDS! On No Hands Bridge, no less. We’re doing our first competitive ride, the American River Classic 50-miler and we are doing Tevis Cup this July. I have high hopes. Sal completed it last year with a rider who outweighs me by at least 50 pounds. He’s such an amazing horse. Sal’s a true blessing and gift from God!

Another accomplished endurance horse (Treasure Trovee) from the CreRun program, and another happy owner!

"Took Treasure to a pretty challenging and rocky ride this weekend. Treasure was a dreamboat. She was a bit tired from the trailer ride. It is a 5 hour drive. We only did the 25 miler as it is very difficult. As you can see in one picture, we were always going up or down. She also did this ride barefoot! It is about 15% rock. She was truly impressive. Stole my heart. She didn't spook, buck, flinch at any obstacle. She lead better than ever. We had a very steep and rocky downhill climb that she never flinched at. Her recoveries were great! We started at the back of a control start of 58 riders. I had no idea but we finished in 11th place. If I had known I could have bumped out a few and gone in to top ten. I'll watch closer next time. I was just having so much fun I didn't even care.
Having Fun in Texas with Treasure,
--Vicki Hudson"
