IRMGARD LIPP AND HOOFPRINT
IRMGARD will be the last rider we will have a chance to profile until after the race on October 20th
How many years have you been riding Limited Distance rides?
I joined ACTRA in 2000
How many endurance rides have you participated in?
I have participated in two 50 mile rides. One in NS; the other in NB hosted by the Amigos
Tell us about Hoofprint's background.
I have his mother and I have raised him since he was born. He is 13 years old now. He is truly a "mixed" breed. His mother is a mixture or Arab, saddlebred, Morgan and quarter horse, I think.
What are your favorite moments in distance riding?
The 50s because they are so challenging. I also loved riding in PEI. Really, there are so, sooo many great rides
Tell us what you love about HOOFPRINT
He is a very sensible trail horse. Not too crazy when things get a little hot. He will go over, under or through anything I ask him to. He is also very helpful to others (horses) when they are first learning to go over, under or through obstacles.
Thank you Irmgard for this quick little snapshot of your riding and your horse. Best of luck on Saturday!
We like to ride everywhere from a nice trail walk along the beach to training and competing in a 50 mile endurance ride.
