Just thought the group would like an update on how the Michigan Davenports are doing in endurance riding. Jeanie Miller's horse Rubato CF finished his first ride in September at the WHite River Ride in Hesperia Michigan. He's going to be a contender. You can see his photo on my web page going up the hill.

Crucian, Shelley Dake's Davenport gelding is currently 8th in the Midwest Region for AERC (our National organization). He's finished 17 rides this year, never been pulled) and is just really coming into his own. He's a jewel and such a sweet boy! I believe his total mileage is just under 2000 miles in three years.
Not bad for those of us stuck in the snow most of the winter!
My mare, Artemisia is still doing rides and will be out again in 2003. Prelude CF is currently on loan to a friend in Arizona and is doing great. Just finished Silver State ride on Friday after Thanksgiving.
These horses are awesome endurance horses. I'd sure like to see more Davenports out there! Breeders?????
Any prospects you'd like to see on trail????? Crucian and Rubato are on trail because their owners saw other Davenports on trail and were so impressed with them.
My contention, as always, is that these horses deserve to be used! They're so much FUN to ride!
