TOP ENDURANCE RIDERS AT PAN AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Over 100 endurance riders and their horses from 11 countries are gathering
at the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest at Trout Lake, WA for the 2003 Pan
American Endurance Championship. The USA will field five teams while Canada
is sending two. The countries of Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Japan,
New Zealand, Romania, Spain and Sweden are also sending top ranked riders to
challenge the trails.

Competitors will begin the 100 mile (160 km.) ride over rolling terrain at
5:00 the morning of 13 September. Although they have a full 24 hours to
complete the ride, the winners are expected to cross the finish line in
about half that time. Riders will also be vying for the coveted Best
Condition and High Vet Score awards, which reward the excellent physical
condition of the top endurance horses.

USA Pacific South rider Heather (Bergantz) Reynolds will be looking to earn
her second consecutive individual gold medal, although the horse she is
riding is not the one she rode to success at the 2001 Pan Am Championship.
Reynolds, this year's Tevis Cup winner, said she thinks her chances of doing
well with the 7-year-old Arabian gelding Aleclipse are very good. "I feel
very good about the ride," she said.

The USA East team will be defending the Team Gold it won at the 2001 Pan
American Championship, with three of the winning four riders returning to
the squad. They will be joined by Valerie Kanavy and her Arabian gelding
Emphatic, co-winners at last year's World Masters Championship.

PAC 2003 organizer Stephanie Irving said preparations for the competition
are on schedule. This being one of the driest years in history, they are
working with the Forest Service on a fire prevention plan, and a strict
protocol to reduce the fire risk. The local volunteer fire department will
be keeping the camp and the trail supplied with ample water. "We're
fortunate that forestry officials are working with us to allow us to go
ahead with the PAC and to keep our riders, horses and the environment safe,"
said Irving.

On our way west to PAC

On Behalf Of Laura Hayes
Thought I would drop a line to let RCers know Cia Ries and I are in Rock
Springs WY in our fourth stop over from PA/NY on our way to get Cia and
Wave to PAC.

We have been driving 400-500 miles each day, stopping at farms we find in
the travel book, and going riding each evening.

We stopped the second nihgt in Geneseo Illinois at the Doerfeld's of
Sandarac Arabian Fame. I spent much of my childhood and teens there, but
hadn't been back in 17 years. It was SOOO good - a lesson in life to keep
up with those you really love...

I have my Music horse, who is Wave's buddy and traveling companion. The
two of them are doing great together and we are really happy we brought
Music.

We are staying in Utah tomorrow and Washington the next night to be in
Trout Lake WA the following day.

What fun! We haven't even listened to our books on tape and I have not
read any of the several books I brought- Cia and I TALK too much, and laugh
alot!!

The scenery is gorgous and we read all the local literature as we go from
town to town - so interesting!

Till I find another computer.....
