She has been top ten twice (last 2 rides)- awarded BC twice and first once all without asking any more than she did on her own. I am so thankful to have such an amazing “Gray Got- Lily’s name for her.” Couldn’t wait to share this with you :) By the way Langley (bred by Cre Run) got 6th in the LD out of 50+ horses and we had an absolutely delightful ride around Biltmore. He’s also very dear and Lily rides on him whenever she can get us to lead him.

Great day at Biltmore today!! Jeremy Reynolds rode Lynn N Barbara Hershberger’s horse, AnyDayNow, in the 50 at the Biltmore. Tina Davidson Cochran and he raced off at the end. AnyDayNow got the win. Both horses looked great. Many thanks to our awesome crew, Holly Jonsson, Alex Rodriguez, Barbara and her husband Lynn.

Cre Run not only breeds quality race horses for the track, but horses that can go the distance with heart. The Cre Run bred gelding Finderzkeepers won the 100 mile contest at Biltmore 2017 ridden by Bonnie Hannah, and also received the coveted Best Conditioned award.

In another impressive performance, Treasured Moments won the Haggin Cup at Tevis 2017 (Best Conditioned) going 100 miles with Jeremy Reynolds aboard. Extraordinarily, it was the mare’s first time to compete at a distance of over 75 miles. She is a HARC mare bred by Cre Run, and a previous race winner at Delaware Park.

Congratulations to all their connections!!!

Alisija Zabavska reports Hidden Assetts (aka Ace) won yet another 50 miler in Boswell, Oklahoma past weekend AS WELL AS the Best Condition Award!
The Buffalo Run Endurance Ride was held Saturday, September 30 2017. Congratulations on a job very well done!

Tom Rajala reports another successful ride for the Cre Run team - Full of Fiesta, Mary Full of Grace and Langley at the Broxton Bridge Moonlight - USA SE Endurance Fundraiser all 3 completed, all finished in the top 3, and once again performed like they champions they are.

The weather forecast called for extremely hot temperatures with highs in the 100's and lows into the low 80's- they made the 5 hour trailering trip to the event in excellent condition.
Saturday morning Heidi rode Mary Full of Grace and Tom rode Langley in the 25 mile limited distance. They rode together until mile 6 when Langley and Tom held back and let Heidi and Mary ride their ride. Heidi said Mary was on a mission, strong, steady and smart down the trail. They held a strong 2nd place throughout the ride, excellent pulse times and vet scores. Langley was an wonderful on the trail, smart and steady and enjoyed riding with other horses for a brief period of time. He also had no problem stepping back up to his pace and leaving the other horses behind to maintain a respectable 3rd place finish.

Full of Fiesta and Tom rode a 50 mile moonlight ride that started at 6:30 in the evening. What an amazing experience to be out on the trail alone in the dark. They finished very strong 3rd and were 2nd place in Best Condition.

Tom says, "We are just developing our horses, and we see that Mary will be a huge machine to crush the competition, Fiesta is a rock star and Langley (our little boy) will be a ringer for best conditions. Once again we received comments from the Vets and ride management on how fine and well behaved our horses are. A testament to the effort Cre Run and connections put into these guys at the barn and at race training."

More great news for DA Adios get and Cre Run breds! Hidden Assetts (AKA "Ace!") won a 50 mile night race in Vinita, Oklahoma! - Alisija Zabavska

Gwen Hall reports, "All For You cruised into 3rd on her second 50 miler completion in June 2016, at Spanish Peaks Premierin Colorado!"

All For You is a purebred Arabian mare by Nivour De Cardonne out of Tu For All, by Tron Tu Ku. She was born in 2008, bred by Cre Run. Congratulations!

Newsflash from Tom and Heidi! Full of Fiesta Top Tens in the 50 mile and Mary Full of Grace finishes 11 at the 25 mile at the Leatherwood Endurance Challenge.

"I cannot begin to tell you how fantastic Fiesta was this weekend. We completed the Leatherwood Mountains Endurance Challenge in 6th place! That’s a top ten finish at his first 50 completion at one of the toughest rides in the area.
Fiesta was a calm and steady horse all day on the trail. He picked his way through the technical areas, ate and drank well to keep himself going strong throughout the ride. Besides being a fierce competitor he listens to my guidance very well down the trail.

More big news, continuing our successful weekend with our CreRun horses was Mary Full of Grace completing her first endurance ride in the 25 mile limited distance. She was a power house in the mountains- Mary did 25 miles barefoot! She's a incredibly strong mare. 

Thank you again for such wonderful horses.

Regards, Tom Rajala & Heidi Perreault

~Alisija Granger

"Fiesta got 3rd place in the 30 at Hope for Horses at Biltmore. He had a consistent pace but beat others in the vet check by pulsing down first. He seems happy with his second career."

Cheers,

Riley and Ryechess took 1st place out of 9 in the junior division, Teri and Sheik won reserve champion in the senior division out of 35 entries, and Awesome Wolf, ridden by Riley’s riding instructor, finished 3rd overall in the senior division. All three looked like they were just out for a stroll and finished strong. This was the first big trip for Ryechess and he never missed a beat. See you in May! ~Bob and Teri

"Just a note on “ Our Break Away” AKA GRIMM! He is progressing well in endurance- he has completed 325 mile to date.
Here is a recent photo of GRIMM on his way to a 10th place finish at the Leatherwood mountain challenge.
We started dead last as he is not ready for a “hot” start yet and worked our way up/ short and steep hills with little in the way for a big horse to gain an advantage, but when we did find flat ground he flew. Some of the climbs were so steep I was standing leaning way forward and his breast collar was so tight you couldn’t get a finger under it. Then down the other side much like a roller coaster. Dr Dwayne Barnett vetted him out and his back was perfect all A’s too.

One more 55 mile event before the Old Dominion 100 in June!

Cheers,
Pete & GRIMM

Cre Run's DA ADIOS proving to be an excellent Endurance sire

"After winning the FEI and overall 50 mile race in Dunnellon, Florida in January, 'Ace' came in strong 3rd place at the FEI 75 mile race in Texas. Both times ridden by Charles Granger." ~ Alisija Granger

Hidden Assetts, affectionately called "Ace," is an 8 year old gelding by DA Adios out of Hidden Treasure, by RD Five Star. Hidden Assetts is a full brother to Treasured Moments- below.

Treasured Moments, barely 5, just off track, handles LDs with grace

Treasured Moments, by DA Adios and out of Hidden Treasure was bred by Cre Run and a race winner at Delaware Park in summer of 2014. On 1/27/2015 Heather Reynolds wrote: "Treasured Moments did her second limited distance ride this past weekend. I had so much fun with her. I'm really amazed at how pleasant minded she is. We started right with everyone and she calmly trotted down the trail. Amazing considering she is just barely 5 and ran on the track this whole past season. I couldn't be happier with her. Thank you for once again producing such tremendous athletes."

Our Break Away (AKA "GRIMM") completes another 50

GRIMM continues his foundation year building with the completion of another 50, this makes 3 endurance rides this year for a 155 miles. He is still very anxious at the start but soon after settles into a huge ground covering trot. He sure is 16.1 hand tall at 1150lbs when fit. You may remember when I purchased him we taped him at 1350 as a stallion! The Nivour breeding is impressive. Attached is a picture crossing the finish line with my good friend on a young mare's first 50. Check out the mare's stride and then GRIMM’s. Grimm paced himself to the mare all day, such a good boy! Everyone loves his personality.

Cheers,
Pete (Peter Ricci)

Bred by Cre Run, Our Break Away is by Nivour De Cardonne, out of TC Break Dancer, by Wiking.

Finderzkeepers is a 5 year old gelding by Nivour De Cardonne out of Dream Keeper by Tiki Tork Ku. He was bred by Cre Run.

"We did our first 50 at Broxton Bridge. He scored all A's with an A- in gut sound after the last loop. He drank and ate well and behaved well on the trail. His heart rate scores were great. He went out solo on his last loop, never hesitated. He has done two more 50's and I am working on qualifying him for the AERC Nationals in September. He completed the Camp Osborn Pow Wow on 2/11/2012. Then he came in 13th at the Sandhills Spring Fling on 4/14/2012. We had a trailer incident on the the way to the last ride and he sat in the trailer for 4 hrs. with banging air compressor noise and truck breaks releasing steam while at the service center. He never pawed or acted up at all. I really could not believe it at his young age. I am very pleased with his performance... Will keep you updated." ~ Bonni Hannah

Maximum Heat, bred by Cre Run Farm, is a 2002 gelding by Makzan and out of Hilarius. He was fourth at Tevis this year, ridden by his owner Dayna Weary who gives much credit to Michele Roush DVM and also to her friend Carol Fontana.

"...it should be noted that Max and Michele Roush DVM are the real stars here. When we have family or friends come over to ride, we put them on Max. He always travels straight, never spooks and you can practically bring him to a stop with verbal commands. Bruce and I love everything about Max, but above all things his mind." ~ Dayna Weary

Update... in 2012 Maximum Heat achieved 3 firsts and 3 Best Conditions including the Twenty Mule Team ride, 100 miles- 1st place and BC out of 34 starters.

At 75 years young, Emily Richardson is still very active in equestrian sports. She completed the AERC 50-mile course on Crimson Sage (MHF Eclipse x Capri El Csage) in 40th place, with a ride time of 7 hours. Emily, who resides in northern Virginia, said, "I was foxhunting (which she still does three or four days a week) and started doing distance riding witht he three-day CTR (competitive trail riding) in 1962. Consequently, I met Matthew MacKay Smith at the CTR and I remember asking him, "Why are you doing this instead of endurance?" i don´t think I talked to anyone else at that ride but Matthew and his wife Winkie! I was hooked! So he started me out in endurance at the Old Dominion Ride with my Thoroughbred hunter. I did quite well then, but I wanted an Arabian," she said with a sparkle in her eyes. "By then, I was divorced, living in Washington, D.C., where I worked. I got my first Arabian from John R. 'Doc' Aldred, Rollingwood Farm, and boarded him at Madeira School in Leesburg. I had my hands full with this horse, but persisted, and then finally sold him and rode some of Lori Shifflett´s and Valerie Kanavy´s horses, as I´d known Val since she lived in Pennsylvania doing ECTRA (Eastern Competitive Trail Ride Association). it was 11 years ago that Lori called me and told me to come down to Cre Run Farm and buy this chestnut just off the track. That was Crimson Sage, who is now 17. Sage is a tough, brave horse who has a very high opinion of himself!

"My goal is always to come home with a sound horse to go again, whatever the sport," she said. "I had the good fortune in that my former husband, Aubrey Downs, is a wonderful horseman and gave me, with Valerie and Lori, a deep appreciation of training horses with long, slow, steady work. I don´t race and rarely know where I am in a ride until it is over. I have three good Arabians now. Two of them I hunt regularly on and with one of those I do endurance as well, and I do solely endurance with Sage."

As for her age, Richardson said, "I don´t think about my age as my friends keep me young as a history professor I´m surrounded by college students!"

About endurance, she said, "I always enjoy helping friends and bringing along new horses and riders in the sport - a sport that teaches you life skills. I worked with Quaker Peace and Service in the war zone in Sri Lanka providing food, medical supplies, and training women in basic health education and emergency treatment for about 18 months, and later, worked in Bosnia several times (over a couple of years) for US/AID delivering food and medical supplies into the war zone. I also worked in Sarajevo as a Western country representative in their elections. Endurance riding enabled me to get through very difficult times that, like endurance, required a steady mind and confidence. When friends ask me which sport I prefer, my answer is endurance! You get to ride, be with good friends, and see spectacular scenery for 50 miles and more! Why wouldn´t it be my favorite sport?"

July 29 Lexington, KY~ 120km CEI4* divisions saw Team USA take home the Gold medal with a collective ride time of 25:25:31. In the CEI2* class, the Team Gold medal was awarded to Team USA Northeast A, with a collective ride time of 25 :40 :57. Twenty-nine riders from Canada, Columbia, Germany, Mexico, Spain and the USA competed in the ride over trails through the Lexington, Kentucky countryside, much of which was also used at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, Kentucky.

Individually in the CEI2*, the Gold medal was awarded to Sophia Bashir from Team USA Central and Dazed And Amazed! Photo left. Dazed And Amazed is a grey gelding by Tron Ku Tu out of BW Amazing Grace, and was purchased by Lori Shifflett from Cre Run.

Congratulations to all the Junior and Young Riders in this exciting event. Read full story here.

"I first saw Wirtual Dream through a microscope in 1999—she was one of Cre Run’s first embryo transfers. Seven years later, she re-entered my life when I met her current owner, Tim Miller of Sami Hills Farm. Since then, Dreams and I have shared many miles of trail together, including our first 100, 10 top tens, 2 BCs, and 1 win. We placed 7th in the Lightweight division of AERC's Northeast region in ’08. Dreams then contracted Lyme disease, which sidelined us in ’09. Our 2010 season has shown us that she is back to form, recently finishing second in the Moonlight in Vermont 50. Dreams is the perfect blending of her mother’s determination and her father’s mellow personality. I am now her proud co-owner and cannot wait to see where else our journey brings us!"

Dawn Engle & Wirtual Dream.

Wirtual Dream is a 2000 grey mare by Sam Tiki out of Wikings Dream, by Wiking.

Sheik Sheik Sheik was ridden by Daryl Downs for owner Robert Walsh.

"Sheik is one of the strongest Arabian horses I have ever ridden, " said Daryl. "When Bob Walsh asked if I would do Old Dominion on him, I jumped at the idea! I look forward to doing more miles with Sheik, as we continue to learn more about each other."

Congratulations everyone!

"Mister K is an 8 year old gelding sired by Sam Tiki. He had 71 starts on the racetrack and won over $80,000. Retired totally sound and is now turning into an awesome endurance horse. He just did his first ride a 50 at Freeze R' Burn and got 2nd place in a very competative field. I was very impressed by his performance."

"Ibn Ecclipse has competed in the NATRC (North American Trail Riders Conference) competitive trail riding. This is long distance competition at a pace that is timed, and the horse has a score card (and so does the rider) that judges their fitness, trail ability and manners, and recovery. It differences from AERC endurance riding because it is not always the first one to finish that wins. Since he was 7 years of age, he has competed in over 20 rides and has placed first in 9 of them and second in 6, and has won 2 Sweepstakes for overall points. He also won a year end NATRC Region 1 award for 2nd place overall, plus won the Arabian Horse Association High Point Champion for Competitive Trail in the National Division.

Ibn Ecclipse contines to amaze me with his energy, love, and enduring 'horseanality'."
