A Grand For Jose!



Thursday June 17 2010

Jose received an envelope in the mail!

Who was it from? The AERC (American Endurance Ride Conference). What was in it for this special horse?

His 1000 mile certificate! It's official - 1000 career endurance trail miles for Jose Viola. I got to do 620 of those on my favorite horse. : )

Was he impressed? Well, he inspected it closely, but I think that he thinks that every horse that gets a thousand miles should get a bucket of carrots from AERC. We get to frame his certificate, he gets to eat the bucket of carrots.

  3. Oh, you are right. Paper just doesn't taste all that great - carrots are a much more suitable reward for such an accomplishment!

    Thanks for letting me know the data on Haffies and endurance. 12, huh?! That's about .035% Not very many, LOL!

    Maybe we'll have to try to be #13 and #14!!!
