I have achieved my goal of 5,000 hours of trail riding. All it took was to be goal oriented, have perseverance coupled with good trail horses. The following delineates some of the ways I rode my way to 5,000 hours of "trail saddle time" in 11 years.
Madera Sheriff Posse training rides & searches
Trail Trials competition & coordination
Endurance Rides competition & support
Death Valley Rides [annual one week ride]
Sesquicentennial Wagon Train Ride [Mariposa
to Stockton]
Annual Mariposa Wagon Train Ride
Scouting and clearing new trails
Coordinating trail rides for various clubs
Training horses for trail riding
Riding the trails with various friends & family
The above could never have been accomplished without developing a wide variety of compatible riding companions.
