We Love Endurance as being a Team Sport! Not only on stage, but also backstage! The success of CEIs at Ride in the Pines is due, above all, to an amazing Team of volunteers, officials, vets, time keepers, trail managers, farrier, photographer, vendors, park rangers, cooks and ride managers. A huge THANKS to each of you for your dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm: Michelle Grald, Jeanette Henderson, Patsy Gowen, Eric Rueter, Carol Thompson, Laurie Underwood, Rocio Echeverri, Heather Hoyns, Jan Stevens, Shawn Polke, Anne Wauquier, Jack Weber, Nick Kohut, Bob Marshall, Gerson Acedo Vieira, Ann Stuart, Vicky Bochynek, Becky Kirchner Pearman, Jeff Pauley, Jehanne D'Ursel , Angie Lindberg and many others. THANKS for working until late, in the heat and the storm, always with a huge SMILE!
We also thank the USEF Team for their advice and support throughout the organisation process and in particular to Nicole Barrett Zerbee for her true commitment to the Endurance as well as for being present at Ride in the Pines!
