Sultan Mizan Cup Endurance Challenge ; Part 1

yeayy! kami dah selamat sampai disini..di Terengganu International Endurance Park!

kami datang awal. sebab tak sabar2 dah. event ni best tau! ada kereta sponsor yang purata harganya xkurang suku juta okey!

1st day kat sini semalam dah pegi check out dan berangan nak kereta mane2. hi hi.

antara yang top dalam senarai adalah Land Rover Discovery 4 dan pilihan kedua adalahBMW X5. ceh pilihan berlagak tu! bila lagi uollss nak drive kete mahal2 nih. walaupun tahun lepas dah dapat Land Rover, tahun ni pun still teringin lagi. Driving with that car, I tell you ; is heaven on earth!!! best betul. walaupun Discovery 4 bukanlah sedan, tp 4x4 tapi dia punya suspension bagai memang macam kereta biasa je...maklumla, terbiasa drive with Toyota & Mitsubishi punya 4x4, depa tu agak keras sikit. ngee~~~ baru dapat kereta sponsor dah kondem kereta yang selama ini banyak berjasa. ceh. tak sedar diri!.;P

Accomodation utk riders pun organizer sponsor. dekat GEM Beach Resort plak tu. tahun lepas Sutra je. (aihh kenapa "Sutra je"). he he. maybe I think GEM is better than Sutra kot. tapi sponsored room will only be given on 5th Oct. so meanwhile and as usual we stayed at the Groom Quarters ; our favourite accomodation beacuse its free, its closer to the stable and it have aircond. ngee~~~ like last year, we surrendered our hotel room to other people and we stayed in groom quarters. we are like 10times prefer to spend the night close to horses even the place is not so cozy rather than spending the night away from horses in fancy luxurious room but can't get the good sleep thinking about horses. which one do you think is better?

This event will take place in Paya Indah Wetland, Dengkil, Selangor.

the race is programmed to start at 4am and we are leaving today!

just me & hubby as the team manager, because the rider+horse+groom already left 2 days ago.

bigger responsibilities taking care of 4 performance horses here, yauuw! dat is why we can't leave too early.

a lil info :

1st Prize ; RM15,000.00

okey tu je. hadiah nom2,3,4, sah-sah makin kurang kan. bak kata Big Boss saya, nombor lain selain nombor satu tak penting. ada ke org tanye sape org kedua pegi bulan? takdak kann~~? so only 1st place matters. (mata duitan tak?)

;P

RTES Endurance Ride IV ; 2011

hari ni da isnin eh?! oh...~~ ini cer sabtu minggu lepas. takdelah jeruk sangat kan? te he he.

team kami bwk sekor je kuda untuk competition ni. this is the first endurance for both horse & rider. as we just appoint new rider last 2 weeks, he is my husband's former student and the best among all. (he even beat me! urghhh bitter truth). Faris is a very good rider one can be, he is such gifted with hands that 'speak' to the horse.

and the beginner horse, Sophie is a beautiful 6 years old with great bloodlines. her mother is one of the talented horse we ever have, but now since she is 18+ years old; we no longer ride her but we took advantage to have her generations by making her as broodmares in South Africa's stud farm.

ok! back to the training ride. they have completed successfully at 5th place. (placing doesn't really counts in 40km, dude!)

look at her at the vet check ; she is damn cool for first timer yeah!

"hey doc! what is in my mouth that attratcs you so much?" Sophie's dialogue

The Rider ; Mohd Faris Abd Halim.

i like to say this, he is in early 20s but already a father of 2!!

The Groom ; Mohd Faizol

Briefing by the Chairman. or whatever they call him. ;P

RTES Endurance Ride III ; 2011

2nd 40km was succesfully done last weekend. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

I am looking forward to do 80km next month, Insya ALLAH...but still confuse with my self since I am 2 months late.....already? yes! last recorded on January

RTES Endurance Ride II ; 2011

Last week. oh dis is last week's story okeh. me & hubby completed 40km in RTES Endurance Ride II, held in TiEP, Lembah Bidong, Terengganu.

i rode a lil cutiey mutiey pony belong to a friend. i should be riding Qalai'e actually...but hubby insisted to ride together. and i will be awkward if he ride that pony and i ride Qalai'e.

it must be so funny. it will be six-legged horse instead of four. ha ha

that pony i rode, is a beginner. that 40km was its first ever in life. and he completed successfully.

that was the first time i ride that horse (Ajill Putera). he is quite ok for a new horse. there was a phrase "if you want to know someone, take a look at who they be friend with." -> betul ke tidak? entah la. tapi lebih kurang macam tu lahh...the point is, Qalai'e also become a good boy during the ride, because his accompany is a good boy.

we actually kind of expecting those two guys would at least, jogs all the way of the first 5km. but thank god..they are as calm as home ridden. and the key point is, if you want to avoid struggling at the starting, take a lil' time for you and your horse ; let all or almost all competitors go first and you can slowly & clamly depart after 5-7 mins after flag off but don't take too long, it will be time wasting. (All participants are given 15 mins after the flag off)

we completed the 40km with average speed 9.8kmh. we done faster than that actually, but we spent a lot of time at the last water point coz our horses were like can't get enough of the water in the tank. they drank like hell, which made a sound like we drink water at the bottom of a glass, with straw. sllluuurrppp. sllluuurrppp.

and the one arrow down at the Gut Sound section goes up again. with overall 'A'. that is something to be proud of instead of anything else. la

p/s ; there were a lot of participants cheating, too. they took shortcut since they was no Check Point for 40km. but, who cares? remember, 40km is preparation for further distance. you won't get good result if you keep cheating like this and your horse will never get the fitness they need..

pictures are not available at the time being.

RTES Endurance Ride I ; 2011

kasi rusakkkk ana punya program....

the first endurance ride for 2011 will be held on this weekend...so sad couldn't get participated with DaQalaie...he is still recovering from back pain.

one thing which make me angry the most is, someone is just couldn't help themselves, eager to ride horse that they ignore the horse's pain!!

*errr...sila fokus kpd ekspresi muka, bkn lobang idong yerr*

there goes my chance to do my first 40km with DaQalai'e....so, the next 40km event is in April.

agak lambat dan merugikan. sepatutnya bulan ni da buat satu 40km, bulan 4 nanti yang kedua, dan bulan 5 da boleh buat 80km yang pertama, dan bulan 11 nanti 80km ynag kedua sebelum melangkah ke 120km ladies challenge dengan yakinnya!

orang itu lah kasi rusak ana punya program!

so, ini program baru...
