What is Extreme Trail Riding...???

 Course at the Bolender Horse Park

 course at Extreme Trail Pauwel's built by Mark Bolender

Extreme Trail Riding is like Mountain trail riding on steroids.


In the sport of Mountain Trail Riding the horse and rider navigate trail obstacles with skill and finesse against a ticking clock. There are graded levels of difficulty and horse and rider will navigate the trail with accuracy, subtlety and speed.

Extreme Trail Riding is similar to Mountain Trail riding but with far more difficult challenges in terms of the obstacles and time requirements. In fact, the obstacles frequently are way more challenging than you would experience on a real trail ride. The obstacles in Extreme Trail come at you one after another and often together.

 Bolender Horse Park

In Mountain Trail Riding negotiating a gate, cowboy curtain, or pond is common. But when all of these are united into a single obstacle, it constitutes and Extreme Trail Riding obstacle. 


To execute these taxing obstacles in Extreme Trail riding with finesse you must have a true partnership between horse and rider. Lack of subtlety is obvious to anybody watching. When the horse and rider disconnect, it seems like the rider is forcing the horse to perform the task of negotiating the obstacles.

At Bolender Horse Park (BHP) you can learn how to negotiate these obstacles. Horse Trainer Mark Bolender designed BHP to meet the needs of the horse and rider of any skill level in the sport. Thus, at any one time, amateurs and professionals alike can be found training for Mountain Trail and Extreme Trail at BHP.

Old West Singing Cowboys...Roy rogers, Gene Autry, Sons of the Pioneers

My Favorite Old West Singing Cowboys

 They Don't Make Them Like they Use Too!!!

I was searching through youtube and came across some old videos of some singing cowboys. Pioneers like Gene Autry, Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers, Porter Wagoner, Johnny Cash and I got to thinking that they really don't make them like they use too!!! 

While I think there are some great country singers out there today, these singing cowboys of old are still the best.

So I decided to put together a post to share a few of my favorites. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!


Sons of the Pioneers

The Sons of the Pioneers is a classic group of signing cowboys that were icons of the American West and western music. The group was founded in 1934 by Roy Rogers. The Original group consisted of Tim Spencer, Bob Nolan, and Roy Rogers. The Sons of the Pioneers has lasted the test of time. They still perform today in Branson, Missouri.

To learn more about the Sons of the Pioneers here is a great website to visit......http://www.sonsofthepioneers.org

 The Sons of the Pioneers Singing a classic...

"Ghost Riders in the Sky"

Story Behind the Song Ghost Riders in the Sky

 

The inspiration for this song comes from an Indian legend. Ghost Riders in the Sky was written by Stan Jones. When he was a young boy, 12 years old he needed to finish up his chores. So he saddles up his horse and goes out side to finish them. While riding up a hill he comes across an old cowpuncher gazing into the sky. The cowpuncher tells young Stan to look in the sky and see the red eyed cow of the devils herd. Stan looks up and sees a strange cloud formation and the red eyes.

When Stan was older he was working for the forest service and happen to look up to the sky and saw that same strange cloud formation. It brought him back to that day on the hill with the old cowpuncher. So he went inside and wrote this classic song, Ghost Riders in the Sky.

Who did not love to watch Roy Rogers and Dale Evans sing their way through a western.
 

This is a great video of Roy Rogers singing about the Vaqueros' of the Old West in the 1939 movie, "In Old Caliente".
