*Rushcreek Bobby*
Owner Janice Heltibridle
Horse of Distinction 2024
Rushcreek Bobby is a phenomenal equine partner, cookie monster and carrot fanatic! A friend loaned him to me to do a 100 mile R&T back in 2021. He had never completed a 100 in endurance, but she was positive he was ready, and oh boy was he ever! I was thrilled when my friend offered to sell him to me later that same year. He racked up 1,034 R&T miles from 2021 to 2024, which included three 100 mile R&Ts; carried 10 different R&T partners – 2 juniors; and, also carried a Young Rider to her first 100 mile endurance ride completion in 2024. Out of 29 R&T starts, he earned Best Condition three times; finished first 24 times (okay a lot of those were because we were the only team in the 50 or 100 mile R&T), second place 4 times, with only one DNF (on his 3rd 100 mile attempt at the end of 2023). He turns 18 in 2025 and will be heading out west from Virginia to tackle Tevis. Wish him luck!
