Vermont is one of my favorite rides... to crew, to ride, to see posts about online. When our season got rolling, I really hoped Moonlight would be on the list, and I was not disappointed. We went back and forth on which horses and riders would be participating in this particular ride. In the end, Bryn rode Warren, I rode Tina, and Cam rode Allie. Mike, Jen, Paul, Carla, and Carla's son (Cam's brother), Logan crewed.

As I mentioned in my last entry, I did an endurance ride in Maine last weekend. It's always exciting to see a new ride in the region, so when the new Horses Across Maine event popped up, Jen and I decided to show our support. Jen has a soft spot for the Maine rides as it is, and there seem to be less and less rides in New England in general. Even though Muckleratz is only about two hours from us and was  being held the same weekend, we made the trek up north instead.

We took a slight detour.

This past weekend, I rode the 50 at the new Horses Across Maine endurance ride in Waterford. Because it was fourth of July, Mike had Thursday off. When I Googled the ride and noticed that camp was only about an hour from Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, I decided it would be stupid not to go up a day early and do something touristy for a change. Who knows when we'll have time to drive up there again?
