It is a sanctioned activity of NACMO the National Association for Competitive Mounted Orienteering. The jist of things is you are given a compass, a map with clues, and you set out to find markers using your wits and navigation tools. It is very challenging and fun. You can compete in the Individual category, or form a team (which is really exciting), or you can just show up for the day as a day rider and play. I've had the opportunity to do a few of these, and to follow a National Team on their run for the National final ride (that was the fast one OMG!!!). My experience has been that it is very welcoming, low cost (entry fees maybe $15-ish?) CMO's serve as great conditioning rides to gear your horse up for LD, just trot a bunch (you've conditioned all the while playing CMO). The website over there is not playing nice this morning, but you can find the CMO link under favorite links up top on this blog. <br /><br />If you are coming into endurance riding new, we'd just L♥VE to have you join the Green Bean Endurance Challenge as a team rider, or individual. We are a group of rabid newbies that support one another in our goals to become full fledged AERC riders, taking a practical and do-able at your own pace sort mind set. Be sure and look at the Registration is open post which links you to both green bean endurance's website, as well as the hub of activity which is the facebook page. Even if you don't wish to "join" the challenge, as a new rider we welcome you to our page, so please ask to join the page. Good luck on all your goals ☺ ~E.G.Jacke Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576351940350712538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-471639855469853472016-12-31T20:16:34.651-05:002016-12-31T20:16:34.651-05:00Love the blog! :) Lots of neat info for a future g...Love the blog! :) Lots of neat info for a future green bean rider, hopefully :) What is a CMO, though? :) Caithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13224688543168725516noreply@blogger.com
