Horse Trail Marking in Moab

May 16 2010

Christoph and Dian came back last night from Hell’s Kitchen 50 ride in Gunnison Utah. It had rained the day before, so the trails were slick in the morning, in spite of abundant sunshine. The morning of the ride showed frost on the grass, but throughout the day, temps climbed steadily into the low 70ies.

Christoph and Dian tied for first place on Double Zell and Halyva Night. Our friend Jean Maguire rode DWA Powerball to a 4th place finish. All three GETC horses had EasyCare Glue on boots on their hooves.

Today, Christoph and some Utah Back Country Horsemen members marked the Red Rock Horse Trail, a trail designed during the last two years by Trail Mix, a Grand County Committee for trail development and maintenance for skiers, runners, hikers, bikers and equestrians. The work crew set carsonite posts over a 10 mile trail system through BLM land south of Moab.
