Team 82 - KSLongrider


My name is Barry Cole. We live southwest of Topeka Kansas in Eskridge. I followed the 2012 derby last year and it looks like a fun way to keep track of our conditioning and ride miles so I thought I'd sign up.
 
Linda, my wife, and I host a couple of endurance rides every year and volunteer or ride in several others. I completed my first 50 mile endurance ride in 1971 and have been hooked on trail riding ever since.
 
I'll mostly be riding my favorite mare, Hattie, an Anglo-Arab. I have a two or three other young horses that I'm starting that will be getting some miles as we begin to condition them. Like many other folks with horses we're horsepoor, but life is good!
Come join us on the Ozark Trail Endurance Rides: Real Endurance on a Real Trail!
The Ozark Trail 75/100, April 27, 2013 & The Hillbilly Shuffle 25/50 Endurance Ride, September 14, 2012

  5. Well we got to get in a nice loop today despite the winds and sprinkles. Wendy Minnick rode GRay and I rode Hattie on a local loop with a few hills, at least they're hills for Kansas! Fun ride and we'll go out again tomorrow getting horses fit for our first endurance ride, Racing Stripes, next weekend in Texas. Can't wait!!!

  6. Barry I know you rode the Last Chance Dance Endurance ride, cuz I was there. On organized CTR and Endurance rides, you don't need your GPS to track because we know the ride has been verified. So would you please post your miles from that ride on here so I can update my spreadsheet :-)
