From our archives: Jul 15, 2019 - The ‘No Bitch’in Barriere Ride - Just Ride’ endurance ride. All 35 parking spots were filled and 46 horses were ready to go. The number of entries was capped for the ride, to ensure adequate parking. The ride, held on June 29, was duly sanctioned with Equine Canada and the American Endurance Riders Conference with affiliation with our B.C. chapter of the Endurance Riders of British Columbia.
Eighteen riders headed out on the 50 miler at 6:30 a.m. to go up the Wikkiup along the Dixon, gaining some 2000 ft. elevation, down to South Barriere Lake Road, and to the Meadow for our Out Check, then returning along the beautiful Johnson Lake. Riders from distances, such as Heidi Taggert Larson from NE Washington who jumped at the chance to visit old friends from the Barriere area, and our winner of the 50 Miler was from Vancouver Island.
