new blog!

I think its the time to create new blog and separate stories in my life.
this blog is specifically dedicated to horsie things only!
the other blog name Raihamina - Living life as a wife is officially launched!
it will hold my thoughts, opinion, experience, knowledge as for being someone's wife (and soon, someone's mom!!)

I think its more appropriate to let Horseylicious, held the stories regarding to my passion in horse riding & endurance only. I don't want to mess things up in here. (which is already messy enough!)

RTES Endurance Ride V ; 2011


Lorraine - wearing 79

Hidalgo - wearing 179
who picked the vest number? me! me! its my favorite part during competition!
ngee~~
Lorraine & John - Hidalgo & Azizie

not much to tell, but I have to say we manage to rebuild rotten horses and trained them to successfully completed 80km. we brought 2 horses which one of them suffers back pain and just got the acupuncture treatment earlier this year. and the other one just recovered from very bad hoof damage. when I say bad, it is very-very bad that you could barely say he has hooves! he could barely walk too! but thanks to supplements and good care, these two manage to recover and now proudly making their way to Sultan Mizan Cup 2011 - which also known as the Endurance of the year! this event has been re branded from Sultan's Cup to Sultan Mizan Cup. previously the organizer offers US$ 10,000.00 for the champion(which won by our TMKN rider), rumors says that this year's prize money will be bigger. (how awful! i cannot ride in this event!). so Malaysian endurance rider/team are all trying their best to be able to participate in this event. the qualification needed are twice 80km(FEI 1*) for new horses & riders. but before you can make it to 80km, you have to complete twice 40km first - its the national federation (EAM condition).

so now we have more horses qualified to Sultan Mizan Cup than the riders. the team still have one rider who needs to complete one more 80km. he will be doing his final 80km in September, which will be held in Wetland, organized by Selangor Turf Club. (if I am not mistaken.). this is the first time they ever held an endurance ride and they offers mindblowing prize money - RM25,000! of course, not bigger than Sultan Mizan Cup's prize money, it is still the event of the year, fellas!
