Congratulations to Karen Chaton and her two horses, Granite Chief and Pro Bono, for a successful weekend at the Owyhee Fandango endurance ride in  Idaho.

On Day One, Karen and ‘Chief’ completed the 50-mile ride, a day that involved rain, wind, and a ton of mud.  ‘Chief’ wore his Sport Orange Renegade® strap-ons all day long and they didn’t budge, even through the worst of the mud.  The day’s completion put ‘Chief’ at over 12,500 AERC endurance miles!

Then on Day Three, Karen and ‘Bo’ saddled up and headed out for the 100-miler!

Karen says the weather was better on Day Three, but extremely windy.  ‘Bo’ wore his Sport Orange strap-on Renegades all day, and as Karen put it, “It was a flawless boot ride for us!”  They finished the 100-mile ride in 8th place!  Bo now has over 5,000 AERC endurance miles!

Congratulations to Karen, Chief, and Bo on another great ride weekend and continuing boot success!
