If you have not already sent your entry in, you need to get it in
ASAP. You can find entries on the website
here: http://www.aerc.org/nc2003/default.html Please fax the filled out
form, and then mail the original with a check. Entries need to be received
by the 15th of September to guarantee a completion award (which, btw, will
be something really nice) and your meals.

Ride management has listened to the suggestions from riders after the
pre-ride in July and have a 2000 gallon water truck, 5 water buffalos and
riders will absolutely not ever have to go more than 7 miles at the most
between water stops! There will be live entertainment for four
nights. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be catered every day. They will
also have a ride steward present.

Volunteers wanted -- they are in the process now of coordinating all of the
volunteers. If you can help in any way please go to the website for more
information or email Carol Hoeft at: Ess3x@aol.com

We are working on putting a list of the riders and horses who have
entered. John and Steph are going to be taking care of the website
coverage on ride day.

Happy Trails,

Karen

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.
