NEDA New Year Ride Photos Now Available to View

I am not a rider, so there are many things I am still learning about all the hard work and preparation that goes into an endurance ride.  I have developed an appreciation for the amazing animals and also for the physical and metal determination of the riders. Steven Thompson served as sole ride manager for NEDA's New Year's Ride this past weekend in Silver Springs, and I learned another lesson about all the effort that goes into sponsoring one of these events.  Excited about incorporating new trail into the ride, Steven spent countless hours scouting for that new trail.  The ride was originally scheduled for December 29, so he spent days marking the trail.  Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative, and after sending out a survey of whether to keep the date or push the ride back a week, Steven followed the suggestion of his members and moved the ride date to January 5.  This resulted in another week of struggling to re-mark trail in snowy conditions. Food preparations had to be altered and volunteers had to be revised.  Then, everyone kept their fingers crossed that the weather would be better.  After all, it is Nevada, and it could always be worse.  It turned out to be a great day.  It was cold, but there was no snow, and no wind.  Thirteen riders braved the elements and enjoyed the new trail.  Again, I was impressed with horses and riders who completed twenty-five miles.  It was good to see everyone back at camp, sharing stories and warming up around the fire and enjoying a gourmet dinner of deep fried turkey and prime rib.  Tom Lewis did a fantastic job with the food.  I know many members have served as ride managers, and I salute you for all the hard work that goes into hosting a ride.  You guys must really love what you do.  For those of you who haven't put on your own ride yet, you should consider it.  For those of you who have, a big thank you and cheers of appreciation.  Can't wait for the next ride!  See ya'll in February.  Photos are available to view at www.projectionsphoto.printroom.com
