Renew Your US Rider!

Just renewed my US Rider membership today and wanted to do a quick post on how important it is to have, especially for us endurance riders who trailer EVERYWHERE.

Below is a list of their services and benefits. It's only $150 FOR THE YEAR. Come one people, isn't a little peace of mind while on the road worth it?

EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
		TOWING - When your vehicle cannot be started or driven, the vehicle and/or Horse trailer will be towed to the destination of your choice up to 100 miles by one of our authorized vehicles.
		REPAIRS - USRider handles each disablement involving a tow vehicle and horse trailer as if it were an 18-wheeler. In many cases, it is better not to tow - especially with Horses on board. In the event that your vehicle becomes disabled when you are trailering Horses, if it is possible for us to facilitate a roadside repair and avoid towing, we'll pay a service benefit of up to $200 per incident - excluding parts and fluids.

		FLAT TIRE ASSISTANCE - Your flat tire will be removed and replaced with your spare.
		LOCKOUT SERVICE - If your keys are lost or locked inside your vehicle, we will dispatch a locksmith or emergency service vehicle to assist you.

10/4 Competition Update

Sorry, yes, I know I am terrible about regular updates....

Sarah and I ended up not being able to make it to fall Biltmore because personal schedules and lack of training just got a little crazy. It ended up being alright with me; as a fundraiser the entry fee for that ride is very very very very high. I love Biltmore, it's a beautiful place, but I just don't have that kind of money to give them.

Instead, it was decided we would go to Fort Valley for the 50 on October 21-22. Unfortunately we were unable to get enough training in to be careful, and again scheduling started to conflict. Good news though, Amy Smoot has asked me to take her Anglo-Arab mare, Kricket, on the 50 as well! So I'll be doing the 50 on Friday with Kricket and the LD on Saturday with Aleah (maybe Helo, but probably Aleah).

Hope to see everyone there!
