New Blog for the Tevis Post
This is a discussion website, or blog, dedicated to those interested in the Tevis Ride. Our goal is to help everyone who supports the ride and or riders to achieve their goal! It would be a great pleasure to see everybody that challenges the course to take home a buckle or another certificate as the case may be; after all, "it only takes one buckle to hold up your pants". If we all share our experiences, problems, and pleasures, we should all profit. Please help make this website a focal point for Tevis Cup enthusiasts.

The entries are not coming in very fast for Tevis 2008; however I see and feel a lot of excitement for this year. At the moment there are wild fires burning up all over the state. I can say with a fair amount of certainly that if the ride was this today it could very well face a cancellation. It is hard to breathe outside let alone ride your horse in this smoke.
On a brighter note Heather Swanson who rode her first Endurance ride on April 5th this year now has 6 fifty mile rides on SMR Fifi d’Or, all in top ten and she is qualified to ride Tevis. Her last ride was Saturday June 21st and she was seconds behind me for second place finish at the Hat Creek Hustle. She and Fifi d'Or are having a great season and this is a good lead up to Tevis 2008 for her first Tevis ride and of course she will ride Fifi on Tevis.

I enjoyed reading about Heather's Journey and I will be wishing only the best for her and Fifi.
Good Journey to you also, Potato!
May it be a sweet one.

Hello,
For any of you wondering about the beautiful headstall that Potato is selling; let me just say it is awesome! I rode several of Potatos' horses in only that headstall and never had a problem with it. I love it. It is gentle on the horse, it's super easy to put on and take off (no "cold bits" to coerce into the horses mouth) and it works as well as any bit. I ordered one for my own quarter horse and it's great.
