Recently, on Oct 25-26, he averaged 5.25 miles per hour during the Kanopolis Canyon ride in Kansas. Horse and rider were greeted at the finish line with a bucket of apples and flowers. They are not scheduled to compete any more this year but there are no plans for retirement yet.
Here's all about competitive trail riding.
Kudus and best wishes to Elmer and Mary Anna Wood.

I'm impressed. He's such a cutie and a true athlete. In a couple of those photos he reminds me a bit of Nadia, too.
Did you happen to notice the location of his cinch? It's right where that article I was telling you about, said it should be. Most people, me included, place the cinch directly behind the elbow, and no farther back. It just seems to fit there better.
I wonder if it is more comfortable for the horse to have it back farther. Interesting.

I too am curious about the cinch placement. I might be inclined to try it. I'll bet you can tighten it up further back and not have to worry about it ever being "too tight". Just behind the shoulder, the usual placement, might be affecting the breathing and heart.
