Some of my favorite distance ride shots up through 2012: memorable trails, horses, people primarily in Pacific South and Western regions.

Read MoreLari Shea hosted us at her ranch for the inaugural Mendo Magic ride. I think she's on Indy. Lari owns the well-known Ricochet Ranch riding vacation outfit. She has lots of endurance accomplishments plus taught seminars with Kerry Ridgway DVM on the Tevis Trail for years. I never got to do that trip and always wanted to! She's also organized riding trips to Africa, South America and India.
Mustang Lee and owner Rebecca Florio school in dressage when not on trail. Lee has finished the Tevis ride. Rebecca's other endurance horse is an Arabian mare, who has also finished Tevis. Both do multi day rides as well. This shot is from the Tejon Thanksgiving ride, with Castac Lake in the background.
