2010 was an excellent year for the Farley (TKR Triforta) and Melinda team. Farley switched from traditional metal shoes to strap-on Renegade® hoof boots mid-way through the 2009 season.
The 2010 season started with Mel’s and Farley’s first-ever 100-mile completion at 20 Mule Team in Ridgecrest, CA, and ended with Mel earning her 1000-mile endurance mileage patch at the Patriot’s Day 100-mile ride in Greenville, CA.
During 2010, Farley earned her “Bronze” level 100 mile certificate, which indicates that she has completed 3-100 mile rides. With the exception of Tevis, in which Renegade® Pro Comp Glue-Ons were used, the 100-mile rides were completed using Renegade® strap-on hoof boots.
Melinda and Farley earned a 6th place finish in the Featherweight division West Region point standings and continue to train and compete in Renegade® hoof boots.
