Darginka did her second limited distance endurance ride at Rock Creek. The Rock Creek Roundup was a 30 mile ride and she moved out really well for 15 miles and then we pretty much walked the rest of the way except for a trot along the road at the end. Her ride time was about four hours and fifteen minutes. The elevation gain was huge and there is no way I could have made it up there walking those switchbacks!

Akpai has been leased to Katrin who is using her for endurance this year. Akpai turned out to be such a nice riding horse that her daughter rode her in her first 30 mile ride. Akpai is now down in Idaho with Katrin and set to do her first 50 miler this weekend.
