Hi all - wondering if anybody from the ‘old days’ is still on this list? I’ve been going through Ridecamp archives, starting in 1995 (Ride...@moscow.com), and have made it through 1997. Watching it grow from a few posts, to a very effective list serve. With all of the growing pains, creating a digest, dealing with spam and repetitive and non-pertinent posts…. my head is spinning! But what a thing we had. 

I’m wanting to write a book or memoir of some sorts, to capture all the endurance adventures I’ve had over the years, this was a most interesting way to get a perspective on the sport as it matured over the years. 

anyway, just had to see if there’s any life in Ridecamp these days, I haven’t been riding or following the posts in quite some time…but was into it pretty deep for quite some time!

I still ride but somewhere between trail riding and exploration/adventuring.  What a privilege it was to see the miles and miles of trails in Owyhee County and City of Rocks.  You sure took us to some amazing places.  Will cherish the memories.

Thanks Steph!

Also got tons of useful info on  ridecamp.

That’s funny my daughter and I were just talking about ride camp about a week or two ago and she was asking if it was still operating we used to be all over that about 30 years ago

It is really sweet to hear from all of you. Thirty years has gone by so quickly. So many changes in life and in the world. Not only for all of us personally but for the horse world in general. I still believe Endurance.net is the best social media venue for the endurance world news we can use.

I'm still here.  I used to read RC all the time, and sometimes post.  It was the best thing!

I’m still reading. My husband and I own a business so endurance has taken a back seat. Hopefully, there will come a time I can ride trails again!

What fun to hear from all of you! Life flies by and I marvel at the twists and turns. I miss the rides, the riding, the horses, but for me it was time to move on. I've always had a restless streak. We did do a 'Multiday Ride' this month, but it was 8 days, point-to-point, on E-bikes from Amsterdam to Bruges, Belgium.  Our basecamp was the lovely Elodie Botel - a beautiful barge converted to a 'hotel' to house 20 people including Captain Chango, Chef Amri, and Guide Nina. Afterwards we spend a few days with longtime Belgium friend Leonard Leisens. We shared stories and photos which stirred wonderful memories about rides and travels with our spectacular horses. (they are all spectacular...). We've been so fortunate to know what it feels like to ride a willing and eager horse across miles of terrain!

Oh my goodness. How is Leonard? I miss hearing about his adventures and seeing photos of his lovely horses. You are absolutely correct, Steph, the horse world is an amazing life to live. Especially given the people that are on the other side of those horses.
