Update
Congratulations!! Cindy Hyson and BumBum aka Darby – have just completed their first AERC Introductory Endurance Ride – 15 miles – their first competition. While it is a first, many hours of dedicated work have been necessary to get this far. Several weeks ago, Celer and Cindy tied for 1st with a BC(Best Conditioned) 50 mile ride
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Surprise has been backed. Robin Ward and Whiskey have started to be a riding couple:)
Cindy and Darby have completed a 15 mile AERC ride and a 25 AERC rides – on the 25 mile ride – Darby was 6th over the line in 21 entries. He scored 49/50 in BC – so pretty darn impressive – as we know in the horses – enjoy each moment one has – so this one is out of a fairy tale:)
Darby’s pedigree – his dam is in foal this year – foal will be for sale.
