In February, I went and visited a great Arabian rescue organization - www.lovethishorsearabianrescu... While there I got to visit with and ride a beautiful mare named Viva Jamaal. I ended up deciding to adopt her and worked out a plan with the rescue director to come pick up Viva the same weekend as the Western Mojave XP AERC Endurance ride the weekend of March 15-17. My friend Matt and I drove down on the 14th, picked up Viva, and set up ride camp. I then rode Viva on the 15th for a 25-mile limited distance (LD) ride, and then today March 16th I rode Nico. Both horses did great! I’m grateful for Love This Horse working with me, and trusting me with one of their rescue horses and while the weather wasn’t as nice as I would have liked, I was grateful to be able to do this early-season ride!
As always this is my candid full-form ride footage, that I help viewers can enjoy, learn from, and improve upon my strengths and weaknesses. Please if you have constructive comments or criticism as always feel free to comment! I have an exciting ride season lined up so many more videos and content to come so also please feel free to follow Nico, Viva, and me in our Endurance Journey!

Our scheduled ride is April 13/14 where I plan and hope to ride Nico for the 50 miler and Viva for the 25 miler at Antelope Island. I also plan - if all goes well - to record both rides and get you all some footage of Viva - She is cute!
As always, thanks for watching and for your comments and support. I hope you are all well and Happy Trails!
