This picture is from 2002. Sadly, Sparky, my Australian Cattle Dog (left) and Homer (my brother's St. Bernard, right) have crossed the rainbow bridge.

Equestrian organizations I belong to...
North American Trail Ride Conference This national organization is one of several sponsoring competitive trail rides. Southern California is part of NATRC's Region 2.
The American Endurance Ride Conference (AERC) Not only is the the AERC's website, it also contains dozens of links to all sorts of distance riding organizations, groups and resources.

Amber is a fellow convert to NASHA Single Footers like me...she also happens to be blowing the socks of the competition in AERC limited distance and 50-mile endurance rides with her NASHA-registered half TWH, half Rocky Mountain horse named "Equinox D'Artagnon"  from the same Equinox Acres farm in Alberta, Canada that bred Equinox Beauty and Equinox Shir Khan.
