I meet a new Endurance Riding Buddy!

While myself and my friend Liz were riding in the Lakeside Riverbed, we heard a girl calling. We thought maybe it was some of the homeless people, as we couldn't make out the words, but much to my surprise an endurance rider popped out of the trees on a big grey horse! She introduced herself to us, and let us know she had just moved out here from the East coast, and was looking for people to ride with, and to show her the trails. And thus I met Maggie! I didn't know at the time, but she would become one of my very good friends! We started riding together often, and she was training a neighbors horse, Warrior, for his very first LD, while I was conditioning Gallant for our first LD.

Maggie has a lot of endurance experience, closing on 3000 miles of sanctioned rides! And I was really jazzed to have someone to ride with that I could bounce ideas off of, and ask questions. Maggie is a super cool girl, and lots of fun to hang out with, I love Maggie!!!

We went on lots of training rides together from the Cuyamaca's to Fiesta Island, I was so excited to show her all of our riding areas here, while listening to her enchanting tails of her amazing trails back home on the East Coast!
