Quite a Sugarfoot is a registered Tennessee Walking Horse doing the endurance circuit. We just completed the 2010 Endurance Ride Season with 305 LD miles for the season, our best season yet! We saw so much beautiful country during our travels so I decided to compile photos & video of our 2010 ride season in the AERC's Mountain Region. We rode at the Antelope Island Ride, UT; Wyoming Pioneer Ride, WY; Bighorn Ride, WY; Antelope Butte Ride, WY; Happy Jack Ride, WY & Moab Canyons Ride, UT and had an absolutely fabulous time! So many wonderful memories! We will be doing some 50 milers in the 2011 ride season. Enjoy the video!

  • We couldn't get to as many rides this 2011 season as I would have liked due to the economy & gas prices, but even so, I recently learned that Sugarfoot came in 18th place in the Mountain

    Region Endurance Rides Light Weight Division for 50 mile rides! We made the top 20! Yeah for Sugarfoot!! The Mtn. Region encompasses WY, MT, ID, UT & parts of SD. I'm so proud of her!

  • Its great to see walkers doing endurance im looking into doing it next year with my arabian/teneesee walker mare for our first time. Any tips for a newbi? i'd only be doing 25milers.

  • @Jorey1Talent -- A great book to learn more about the sport is called "The Complete Guide to Endurance Riding & Competition" by Donna Snyder-Smith. Do lots of LSD riding (Long Slow Distance). Don't push your horse too soon too fast and when you get to the rides, make sure to "Ride Your Own Ride". This is VERY important. It is very easy to get sucked into somebody else's ride, which will not be enjoyable for you or your horse. Remember, "to finish is to win" and you will have a great time!

  • I enjoyed your video so much that I just had to share on our Heavens Gait Farm facebook page - we have a great group of horse folks there and since we specialize in Tennessee Walking horses, I know everyone will be interested to see your Quite a Sugarfoot! Perhaps, you will inspire others to get out there and enjoy the glide ride and see this beautiful country! _ Judy Noyes @ Heavens Gait Farm

  • Wonderful video! I own 4 TWHs - two black, of course! We spend a lot of time in Black Hills and Big Horns trail riding and camping. Thanks for making such a wonderful video!

  • Great to hear your up to 50's! 50's & up ARE endurance! Keep on climbing up the miles.... Gaited ROCKS!!! And yes, we can kick arab ass!

  • I'm in ♥ with endurance and my horse :)

  • @Starsilver17 I would like to know the answer to that also?

  • Awesome job putting the song's words to the video! Very well done and great song!

  • Wow, you guys have come a long way! I am getting started in endurance as well, but I can't seem to find a training method, what do you use?
