(March 2009) – Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) instructor Julie Dillon from Goffstown, New Hampshire is heading off on a 1,700 mile journey with her Tennessee Walking Horse with the Best of America by Horseback team.
They will be riding northward from the Mexican border town of Santa Teresa near El Paso, Texas with their final destination just north of North Dakota in Estevan, Sakatchawan, Canada. They will leave on April 21st and plan on arriving in Canada in early September. This is a leisurely trek with four days of riding out of each week averaging fifteen to twenty miles per day.
Julie offers a comprehensive curriculum to her riding students of equine safety, mounted skills, gait recognition and complete equine care. Julie emphasizes the light-shod philosophy of gaited equitation. Julie and her horses have won high point overall year end open competitions in Dressage in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
“We are so excited to have one of our members doing this prestigious ride,” says Christy Landwehr the CEO for CHA. “Julie was one of our CHA instructor of the year finalists last year and represents CHA very well.”
