UPPER MIDWEST ENDURANCE AND COMPETITIVE RIDES ASSOCIATION UMECRA was formed with the goal of promoting the sport of endurance and competitive riding and good horsemanship under the direction of qualified veterinarians. Furthermore, it was founded by a group of ride managers to standardize a set of rules for the various rides to reduce variation in the way rides were managed, to coordinate ride dates, to tally points, and to present year-end awards at an annual banquet. |

The UMECRA board has voted to sanction Wayne's 100 mile ride. It will be held Sat Sept 4, start time near dawn, during the White River Fall endurance rides. Folks wanting more information should contact Wayne Gastfield at his cell phone number, 231-250-4242. KEEWENAW Ride Cancelled. The night before last I spoke with
Katie Fettig, ride secretary for the Keweenaw Ride, and
she told me that due to some extenuating circumstances,
the ride will not be held this year, but they do plan to
hold it again next year. They apologize for the
inconvenience this causes. Please spread the word
well, so that no one wastes a trip up there (though
there is no such thing as a wasted trip up there as the
country there is worth the trip anyway!). Purina Horse Feeds has generously agreed to sponsor the Novice Division Year End awards. Please take a moment to check out their website and let me know how much we appreciate their support!! ABC Products has agreed to sponsor Louise Reidel Top 10 Mileage Award for 2010. Please let me know how much we appreciate their generosity.
