True finished the Fire Moutain 50 at Ridgecrest two weekends ago- she placed, out of 65 entrants 5th overall. 50 miles in 5 hours

True raced @ the Manzanita endurance ride in San Diego County this past weekend.

She placed 3rd out of 68 riders and was runner up BC (best condition) horse. We finished 28 minutes in front of the BC horse and 5-12 seconds ?? behind 1st and 2nd place. True did a good job

Beautiful horse!! She looks so confident and smooth on the trail. :)

@peanybutter she's extremely safe feeling and is relatively smooth- i could have her carry herself a little better- but where she does extremely well is in the vet checks- never more that 1 or 2 minutes to pulse down and 2 minutes would actually be long for her.

What a beautiful mare - her ears are so forward and excited except for the little stint at 1:45 ish LOL I love how she cocks her little ear back to listen to you every once in a while. PERFECT SONG

@MortishaPoppins lol- that little "stint" was me doing a video transition so it over lapped - but she did spook a few times- but her spooks are harmless, and i just have her move faster

@desertduty Thank y ou- This is in Bonita, which is south San Diego, in San Diego County.  They have a horse park/camping/ w/ horse stalls, showers, etc if you ever want to camp right in this area- i'm lucky that this is in my backyard. True is barefoot and always has been- as well as our other horses- so it is nice footing indeed.

lol - True hates butterflys or anything flying in her face- so she does flatten her ears at them and the wind!

[desertduty]

Lovely video!  Where is this - I love the trails and the footing!
