Las Cruces HTs - Area X

[Illusion Of You]

Alright, I know there's several people interested in going down to New Mexico in November for the brand new Las Cruces Horse Trials! SO, here's an official thread for it, for determining who is going, who wants to carpool etc.

here's the omnibus info:

Post on here if you are interested in going or planning on going for sure!! I'll plan on going with one horse. I have a 2h trailer so I could haul one more, but my truck gets awful mileage long distance so I'd also be interested in car pooling with someone else, depending on how many are hauling down!

If I can't get back to Briar Fox in October, I would certainly be interested in going. I don't have wheels yet, so I would need to hitch a ride. Some of it would also depend on when people planned on traveling- I can't take too many days off work

Closes tomorrow! There may still be time to get in if anybody is interested in going!!

I know there are a few of us heading down from the Castle Rock/Parker area. If anyone needs to set up trailer rides/carpools etc, please get in touch! Is there anybody else planning on going??

Heidi, did you end up going? How did it go?

Yup, I made it down there and it was SO worth it! Las Cruces was a *beautiful* horse trial and the organizers and officials that put it on did an exceptionally good job and made the weekend pleasant and enjoyable. There was plenty of warm-up room, the footing was great, courses fair but challenging, stabling was excellent, just all in all a beautiful horse trial.
Leo finished on his dressage score again (which isnt saying much since our dressage kinda stinks ) but we ended up in 8th place so I'm pleased with ending the year on that note.
Will DEFINITELY plan on going back next year and I recommend it to everyone! It's worth the 10 hour drive for sure!
