FOR LEASE:
Rictik - Proven Tevis horse with 2 completions with leased riders.
International, world class horse. Uncomplicated to ride.
|
"Ricki" is a 2008 mare who is quite accomplished, reliable and simple to ride. She has 2 Tevis completions, both with leased riders.
She has 1250 endurance miles with AERC and FEI. In 2016 she was flown to Dubai and England for competition and in 2018 she competed in the FEI WEG test event. She is simple and pleasant to deal with – she takes excellent care of herself, eating and drinking at every opportunity. She travels at a 10mph pace on a loose rein, she has a big forward canter but still maintains a chill energy. She is 15.2H and rides in a Specialized Aussie Ultralight saddle |
Not only is Ricki an accomplished Endurance horse, she is so calm and easy to ride, she is my traveling adventure companion. We have traveled to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite and so many others. In addition, we hit the road every September for a month long adventure. You can see videos of some of our trail vacations to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Arizona here . |

For the horse: Her lease fee includes all supplements, electrolytes, farrier work, equine bodywork and crew. Also included is a legend injection and fluids to increase your odds of completion.
For the rider: Her lease fee includes Sacramento airport pickup and drop-off (if during daylight hours), transportation to the Wednesday Tevis BBQ and a pre-ride of at least two hours to familiarize yourself with the horse. Also included is transportation for you and the horse from my ranch in Newcastle, CA (4 miles from the finish line) to the start and back to my ranch on completion. Shared accommodation at my ranch is included or we can accommodate your LQ/RV on our property for your stay (dry camping with limited 20amp electric available).
A $1,500 non-refundable deposit holds her. Fully refundable if she becomes unavailable prior to Tevis (due to injury, illness, etc) or does not pass pre-ride vetting at the starting line.
We will be riding together and aiming for a mid-pack ride. If you prefer to ride alone or with another rider, that's open to discussion if she is ridden at a moderate pace. She is capable of placing in the front of the pack but I do not want her raced. If you come in too fast to the holds, my crew will require you to wait and leave at our agreed upon times.
Tevis is a blast and this horse is a chill, relaxed ride. Come ready to have FUN...!
