It is distributed solely to members of the Texas Endurance Riders Association, and
is comprised of both their input and the opinion of the editor, neither of which
represent the organization’s views or official stance. Of course, if there is no input from
members, then you’re pretty much stuck with the editor’s opinions. Which don’t amount to much, really, but they can sometimes make interesting reading. Other times … well, the
term “bird cage liner” comes to mind.

The Editor’s Musings...
Well, it’s getting down to the end of the season and summer has ended for the most part as I have noticed that the trees around my area are starting to change color. I read something recently that moved me a bit so I thought I would try it at the last ride I was at with my aging mare. I just rode. No mission, no hurry, just rode and enjoyed the trail with her. She has never been anything fast and those that know me know I don’t ride fast anyway but this was different and she felt it and we just went down the trail. It was very enjoyable and hard to explain with words. We did not complete the ride but it did not matter as we just enjoyed be-ing out there. There was quote in what I read and it said “...don’t always say, “That is far enough, now lets do it again faster.” But instead say, “That isn’t far enough, lets slow down and see how far we can go.”Something to think about!
See you on the trail...Safe Riding,Todd

Letter from the President…Hello, Members, I hope this finds you enjoying the recent relief from the Summer heat. Hopefully, our last three TERA rides of the season – Armadillo, Trace the Trails, and Waco Wacky Wide – will experience cool Fall weather. There is something I wanted to bring to everyone’s attention, and that is the importance of pre-registering for a ride. You’ve heard it preached countless times up front from a Ride Manager who is announcing his or her upcoming ride, or, seen it countless times in BOLD letters on a flyer, but maybe you’ve never stopped and thought “Why?” So, I thought I might help you understand the reason we so strongly encourage it. Here are just a few of a Ride Manager’s pre-ride decisions that are based on pre-entries:
- How many veterinarians to hire- How many port-a-pots to rent- How many T-shirts or other completion awards to order- How many juniors to purchase gifts for- How many volunteers to bring in- How much food to order - How much to pay for a land-use fee
Now, there are also some benefits to you, as the rider, to pre-registering. Here are a few:
- Enough time saved at the registration table. No standing in line!- Enough vets to see your horse without standing in line forever- Enough port-a-pots that they don’t get… well… “bad”, or aren’t too far away- Enough food when you are hungry- Enough completion awards that you get to go home with one- Enough staff that you can find someone when you need something- Enough budget that the Ride Manger can have this ride for me next year!!
Ride Managers understand that not everyone can pre-register. There are many instances when a rider is waiting to see if their equine will be over an injury, if they can get off work, if the truck will be fixed in time, etc. Things just happen. But, maybe the above will help nudge you to help your incredible Ride Managers plan incredible rides for you. And, “Thank You” to the 18-20% of you who generally pre-register. It’s so appreciated. See you out there soon!

Diary of an Endurance Horse Part III - The Ride Well this is the last part of my diary. The ride is finally here, so let’s get this show on the road. Here’s how it all went down.
6:40 am- What an interesting morning already. My owner is so nervous that she has tried putting my bridle on backwards (did not know that was even possible). Then she followed up by putting the saddle on backwards! That got a few giggles from our neighbors (the ones who were willing to let me starve last night).
6:50 am- All tacked up now with everything pointing in the right direction at least. She stuffed more glue down my throat. I’m going to request oat flavored glue next time! Blah!
6:56 am- OK, saw my friend Josh headed over with his rider. My rider ran back to the tack room to get her helmet forgetting that I was not tied. So I headed for Josh! I started quickly towards him with a welcoming neigh, when I felt something grab my tail. To my surprise my owner had grabbed my tail upon passing and was trying to stop me. Like that was going to happen! The giggles from our neighbors turned into shouts of laughter as she skied along behind me. I finally let her catch me when I got to Josh, but I think the neighbors were rolling on the ground by then.
7:13 am- All warmed up and ready to go. My owner is once again in the little blue house down the pasture a ways. Not sure what’s in there but this is like her 14th trip this morning. Must be something good in it…..
7:30 am- Someone hollered something and all the horses took off like lightning. My owner would let me have nothing to do with it (doggone it), and held me back until they were out of sight. Then Josh and I were allowed to prance after them.
7:48 am- Finally we are moving out now. Actually passed a few people, the grumpy horse’s being one of them. I tried to pin my ears at them upon passing to let them know what I thought of them, but they were busy strapping something to one of their feet.
8:10 am- Ha Ha! Had my chance to get even with grumpy horses as they came dashing up behind us. Jumped sideways as they passed and laid a nice bite on the largest ones butt! Chaos followed as my owner yelled out apologies and “He’s never done THAT before.” Hmmm. She must have a short memory!
8:49 am- Ok, a bit frustrated here. We are jogging through the most lush pastures I have seen in my life! And she will not even allow me to stop and take ONE bite. If this keeps up I’m going to die of starvation before we finish.
8:54 am- Finally we stopped but she wanted me to drink out of this disgusting puddle on the ground. I dodged around and managed to sneak a few bites of grass instead.
9:10 am- Starting to get a bit winded. How much further is this ride?
9:34 am- We have made a turn towards our camp. I can smell it! Yeah! We are almost done!!
9:53 am- Back into camp. While we were waiting in line for the vet, I decided to have a good roll and scratch my back. Geez! I think my ears bled from her scream. If you don’t want me to roll with the saddle on, take it off! HUMANS!!! At last the vet had me trot again. Like I haven’t been doing THAT all day long…. Glad to be done.
9:58 am- Something’s wrong. My owner has yet to take my saddle off and is talking about “loops.” Hope they are Fruit Loops. I love to eat those!
10:04 am- I am going to DIIIIEEEEE. Josh just told me we are only halfway through. That the first “loop” was finished and we had a second one to go! How will I ever survive? At least I am being fed. I see her coming with the wet worm mix now. All right!!!
10:39 am- Ready to go out again. Feeling revived from the food. My owner is still mad at me that I won’t drink, but hey I’m not thirsty! She so has not heard that old saying…..what is it…Oh I’ll remember it eventually.
10:52 am- Almost got eaten by a horse eating log. Swerved to avoid being eaten and my rider suddenly decided to stop and examine it by herself. I left her behind to inspect it, but alas, Josh and owner caught up with us. Then I was in trouble for “dumping” her. It was her decision to stop and look at it, not mine! Sheesh.

11:07 am- Rider still complaining about being left behind and how sore she’s going to be. What about me? Shes been bouncing up and down on my back for hours and hours…..I may be permanently damaged!
11:45 am- Gosh!! What I wouldn’t do for a nice dirty mud puddle right now. I am soooooo thirsty. I wish I had listened to Josh at that last water stop. Maybe I can get my rider to let me have her water……
11:52 am- Finally!! A super nice water trough. I drank and drank and drank. That was the best water I have ever tasted.
12:16 pm- Starting to get tired. Josh says I’ll catch a second wind when we turn for home. I sure hope so. He’s not even winded!! Lucky guy. His rider must be lighter than mine! That’s got to be it!
12:34 pm- We had to wade through a stream. Made multiple attempts to avoid doing so, but Josh pushed me in!! He bumped me from behind and in I went. So I jumped quickly through it. Hey! That water felt pretty good!
12:46 pm- We made that turn for home! And Josh was right, I felt a little more energy now. Though I must say this ride is testing my endurance…..
1:02 pm- I can smell camp! Oh what I wouldn’t do for a HUGE tub of oats mixed with molasses right now, and maybe a little alfalfa hay with some sugar cubes on the side….ahhhhhh
1:08 pm- We did it!! I did it! We just passed by the vet again and my rider was in tears for some reason. She kept hugging me and praising me (where was that when she was examining the log?) Says she knew we could do it.
1:15 pm- Glory hallelujah! I got a cool water bath, and then a massage, a tub of oats, some hay, some wet worms, with a promise of more when I finish that. I think I’m in heaven. My feet sure are sore, but this gig’s not half bad.
2:30 pm- Nap time. Belly is full. Happy happy horse.
6:42 pm- My owner came back to camp in a super mood and gave me all my favorite things and a massage again! She babbled on about her shirt and even showed it to me. It’s a ghastly pink. I’m glad they did not want me wearing that. Ugggh.
7:30 pm- Well, the ride is over. I have learned a lot and actually had a pretty good time. I might actually enjoy doing this again. Once my feet and back recover!
Well, there you have it. That’s the story of my first ride. I hope you enjoyed it. The only thing I’m worried about right now is what my owner said on the way home from the ride. She said we are going again in a few weeks and this time we will try the “longer ride.” Longer ride? I almost died on that one. Maybe if I live to tell about it I’ll write that down for you too. Until then, this is Dan, signing off.
All three segments of this enjoyable story were written by Kerry Lowrey.

ENDURANCE GOALS By Selena Copeland
We have helped several people get their feet wet in the sport of endurance. Some have stayed and some have gone on to other horse sports, or to trail riding. Over time I have come to the conclusion that success in endur-ance is mainly due to the ability to set realistic goals that you truly want for yourself and the courage to overcome the setbacks that life can throw at you. I define endurance success as being happy with your accomplishments so far, enjoying your horse and the sport, and looking forward to meeting your next goal. Endurance for 99% of people is a part of their personal life, not a career, so it needs to fit into that part of your life and only take it over if you can manage to keep the rest of your personal life intact (i.e. get your spouse involved too or have such a strong relationship that your spouse is supportive of the time away from family). In Goal Setting 101 you should start with your long term dream “what do you really want the most”, then determine how far along towards that you can realistically be in 3 to 5 years (your mid-way goal), and finally what can you accomplish this year that will head you in that direction? Nearly everyone we talk to that wants to get started in endurance and has never done it has a dream of com-pleting the Tevis or winning FEI 100-mile rides. We never squash anyone’s dream, because you never know what “stuff” people are made of until they jump in head first and make it past the first “obstacle” that stands in their way. After they finish their first endurance ride, reality usually sets in. Once you start to get an idea of what it might take to accomplish your goal is when you should actually take a realistic assessment and start your goal planning. Anytime life throws you a major curve ball, it is not time to accept defeat, but it may be time to reassess your goals and decide again what will really make you happy at this time in your life and reset your goals. I’ll give you a few examples of what I would definitely call success involving resetting goals. An endurance rider had a major horse accident and was told he would never ride again. He had been doing really well running up front in 50s and having a great time. His wife also rode, was supportive and often crewed for him. He kept the horse that he loved and dreamed of riding again. He slowly recovered over many months and now rides at a much slower pace in 25s with his wife and they both look very happy. We have another friend that had competed in competitive trail and limited distance for many years and had just started riding 50s, when cancer struck. It was a type of cancer that most people don’t recover from. But, she not only recovered, she set an initial goal of riding 50s again. To accomplish that she first bought a horse that was easier to ride than her horse, and already condi-tioned for 50s. When she realized that due to her health, 50s would not be within her reach and still be enjoyable, she changed her goal to multi-day limited distance and is doing fantastic at it, finishing all 6 days of Fort Stanton. Another good friend was riding middle of the pack 50s and had set a goal of running up front and trying to win. To prepare, she was training, learning and doing the 2 years of long slow distance required for a horse to last a long time. Then she had to have her knee replaced for the 2nd time. This replacement was not as good as the first, causing pain and swelling after every conditioning run. Her doctor told her that if she continued to do 50s her artificial knee would have to be replaced again and she might not be able to ride at all after that. So, she changed her goal to winning 25s and is having a ball doing just that. Another friend had ridden competitive trail for over 15 years and won many championships, but she was ready for a bigger challenge. We helped her select her first endurance horse and she jumped in feet first with eyes open, learning all she could. She has now been in endur-ance over 10 years, has completed several 100s (on the horse we helped her select at age 3) and started riding FEI a few years ago. Whenever she is pulled, rather than dwell on the loss, she says “well it was a good learning experience”. To be able to realize her dream and ride at her current level, she gave up working full time, bought several great prospects (over a period of time) and devotes all her time to training all of her personal horses, con-ditioning herself and learning all she can. Her husband not only gives her encouragement when times are tough, but he has also become an exceptional crew person. To set a goal you can accomplish, you first need to take an accurate assessment of your riding skill level and physical health, your current horse’s prospects (possible ability with proper conditioning and training), the time you have to devote to conditioning and competing and the money you have to spend on the sport as well as whether or not you have a crew to help in really challenging events. Next determine what will really make you happy. For most of my life, my long term dream was to have my own place where I could see my horses out the window of my house, next to a national park with miles of horse trails and be able to ride every day if I wanted. I now have that, so my new long term dream is to ride in 100 mile rides. When I first started riding Doctor Z, I just knew he would be my 100 mile dream horse. I rode him 4 years doing slow conditioning, never pushing him, because I hoped to start riding him in 100s when he turned 9 and be able to continue riding him hopefully until he reached his 20s. He had 850 miles of endurance, 100% completions and won a cooler for being the highest placed multi-day horse at his first 2-day ride by the time he was 7 yrs old. Then tragedy struck when he stepped on a nail and after 6 weeks of intense care, the deep digital flexor tendon tore completely through and we realized he would never recover. I was devastated at his loss. I also did not have a back-up horse. Continued on page 13...

Continued from page 12...Between working the horses we had in training and conditioning Doc, I didn’t have time to condition another per-sonal horse for endurance and had not thought I needed one. At the time, I had a young mare that was 6 months under saddle and had completed one novice competitive trail ride, a young gelding that had recently recovered from a broken neck and had no training and Doc’s older brother that I had been considering for dressage. I was not looking forward to starting all over at square one. But, I finally decided to do just that. When I was working full time, leaving for work in the dark and arriving home after dark most of the year, I didn’t have time to condition myself or my horse for 100s. To realize my long term goal of living next to a national park and riding every day, we had to keep our training business going, so Hank didn’t have the time either. Now that I had the time, I had lost my best horse. The first year “after Doc” was tough, my mare went lame on her first 50 and we were looking at a 6-month recovery, my young gelding decided he was really a bucking horse at the rodeo, and Mister Z, Doc’s full brother, was proving to be a handful in endurance and getting oohs & aahs in dressage. Things were just not looking up. Then, my friend Cindy and husband, Hank stepped in. Last winter, Cindy Mettes asked me to ride HSC Phoenix in her first 75 and her first 100. Phoenix is Cindy’s Envoy daughter that we had bred, raised, trained and started in 25s. Hank also loaned me his Envoy son, HSC Strike Force to start in 50s. So, thanks to Cindy and Hank, I managed to have a good endurance year after all. Towards the end of Spring, my mare HSC Encore was finally sound, my young gelding HSC The Shooter had finally quit bucking and Mister Z was winning at Training Level Dressage and schooling First Level. Then I went lame when a horse I was leading spooked and ran over me. Which is why I now have the time to write articles for TERA. But, I am looking forward to riding both dres-sage and endurance next year. Encore loves to fly down the trail, eats and drinks no matter what, never spooks, and is a beautiful feminine version of her sire Envoy, including having his low heart rate. So I now have new hopes that she just may be the best endurance horse I have ever owned. Shooter (who is closely related to Doc) has a new saddle and is starting to look like he may be a Doctor Z repeat. My dressage coach thinks Mister Z has tremendous potential and a friend that passed away gave me her green Andalusian gelding that I plan to start in dressage this year. So, my goals are still in sight and back on track. And to prepare for the long term future, I have a “designed for dressage” foal by Mister Z due the Spring of 2014. I also can’t wait to see Cindy Mettes’s “de-signed for endurance” Mister Z foals due at the same time. So the moral of the story is we all have obstacles to overcome in the pursuit of our dreams. You should never be afraid to reassess and set new goals to realize a new dream or revive an old dream. But, in the process be realistic about what it will take to reach that goal and wheth-er or not it will be worth it to you. It is much more rewarding to have goals that are a challenge, but achievable.
News & Reminders:Remember, if you are going to the Wacky Waco ride on November 30 and December 1st and will be riding both days, to get your TERA discount you, must be a TERA member for the 2014 ride season as well as to avoid having to pay the $15.00 AERC day fee, you must be/renew your AERC membership as well for the 2014 ride season to ride on Sunday.
TERA has made a $100 donation to Doctors without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontéirs (MSF) in the memory of Linn Booth who passed away. Linn was a great teacher, a student, creative thinker, dirt biker, sailor, traveler, endurance pit crew, trail builder, adventurer, hard worker, gentle horse handler, super father, excellent partner... he served people and animals quietly and with great humility.
Recently, you may have noticed that we have had two openings come available for directors in the TERA organization. A vote will be taken at the TERA meeting Friday night at the Trace The Trails ride on November 8th to fill those positions so nominate someone or yourself. Just remember to be there to vote.
