2022 Region 2 Championship Endurance Ride:
The Region 2 Championship Endurance Ride was held October 29, 2022 during the Bill Thornburgh Endurance Ride near Inyokern CA.
Our Region 2 Championship endurance ride was a success. We had 6 purebred and 1 part bred entries, which is one more than last year. There was one 'pull' on the purebreds and all the others completed. I found out that we are the only Region in California that has a Championship endurance ride.
Best,
Marci
