15 types of people you see at endurance rides

Came across this article from Eat Sleep Ride Repeat posted on the AERC Facebook page. As I was reading through, I was able to come up with a person for every one! I’m #13. Just out to enjoy the ride. Which one are you?

I would consider myself the DIYer hahah:lol: But that is how i was raised riding.

Now I’m afraid to show up in my CO helmet…

I’m kinda a combination of 16 and 3 LOL

I’m a mesh of 13 and 16, and my goal at ride camp is to be next to 6 the ride mom with food. My ride goal is to complete with a sound and hopefully, happy horse.

I’m #9. Ms In The Zone. I got it planned and the vet check is already prepared, complete with snacks.

I am mostly #9, but with a dash of #15 and #4 to keep it interesting…

I am lucky enough to ride with a #1 who is also #13.

I think I’m the Fashionista! I spent a decade doing show jumping and eventing so when I first got into the sport I was just a touch snobby and vowing to never use sheepskin, wear bright colors, etc. My opinions have definitely relaxed since then as Endurance is a comfort over fashion type of deal. Now that I own a gaited horse, I can get away with more fashionable apparel since I don’t have to worry so much about rubs and chafes. I usually ride in Jeggings, and threw out my Ariat Terrains for some gorgeous Kodiak Hiking Boots. I like wearing flannels, vintage shirts, and cute belts.

I think I’m probably a combo of #9, 15 and 16 :slight_smile:

hmmm… a little bit of #3 and #16 lol
