Paula Kaigh, Sheri Devouassoux and Julia Binder braved the oppressive heat and humidity in July to take on the challenge of Endure for the Cure endurance ride.
This was DB Bint Dahmah's first ride ever, and guided by experienced rider Sheri, they had a wonderful ride (Sheri and B Dahmah pictured left, photo by Doug Palme Photography). The pair finished the 25 mile LD in 4 hr, 8 min in 3rd place, just 1 min behind the first place finisher. Great job Sheri!
Paula and DB Dhaman tackled the 50 mile ride and finished in 5 hr 56 minutes. An outstanding time that awarded her a 4th place finish, but just seconds behind the first 3 riders!
Paula also rode her other gelding, Ibn Desert Dhellal in the 25 LD on Saturday and they finished 1st place (in a field of 20) with a Best Condition award!
Unfortunately, the heat was too much of a challenge for Julia's mount, DB Khrushah, and she was pulled at the first vet check. But we're confident that with a few more training rides she will be amazing at her next ride. Julia was a great crew for Paula and Sheri which is certain to have helped them in the successes that day.
