09.24.11 Overlook Ride
Another wonderful, almost solitary, ride. The parking lot beside the Livery was empty when we arrived on Saturday morning about 930a. Quite a contrast to the previous Saturday's packed lot. It...
Foxie Roxie News
Now for a Foxie update from Marie .... I think this mare is already learning different horn sounds! She perks up with the "gone away" note!! Then drops her head & neck with the calling in of the...
09.17.11 Deep Mud – Travel Not Recommended Ride
Had it been up to me, when I stepped outside Saturday morning I would have decided against riding based on the weather. It was very cool at 46 and trying to rain lightly. The sky was overcast. I...
Roxie is a Rock Star
Wanted to share Marie's adventures yesterday, and show off Roxie whom I've never officially met but love her anyway. Hopefully, Marie will comment with some more details when she has time. Thank...
08.14.11 Beat the Rain Ride
Great afternoon ride. Everett / Priley, FJ / Frisco, Debra / Clem, Jay / PB, me / TLH. After church and lunch, we met, saddled up, and rode out with a questionable forecast before us. Although...
Gussie Glamour
I have intended to get pics of Gussie for many months now, and KEEP forgetting. So, today I remembered. We were already in the truck and leaving, but I remembered none the less. So, we went back...
Gus Will Be Traded
I have suggested sending Gus to a professional for one month. She is such a smart girl and I believe that a month would be plenty of time for her to learn some ground manners and a basic work...
Floppy Helmet Ride 07.10.11
Nice warm July day for a trail ride. Fortunately not AS hot as I feared, very thankful for that. Our merry band of misfits today: Debra with Queen Clem, Farmer John and Pretty Boy, Walker took...
Gus Drops Out (or Jumps Out) of School
This afternoon I showed up for some work with Gussie. Gussie even showed up today. She was a complete no-show yesterday. It was not her idea, but she was present. Her...
Gus Goes to School
Gus was introduced to the round pen this evening. Actually, I guess she was introduced to it a couple of weeks ago when it appeared in her pasture. Until this evening, it was just another pile of...

06.18.11 Soggy Boot Ride
Our God is an Awesome God; He reigns (and sometimes rains) from Heaven above with wisdom, and power, and love. Today we were blessed by His reign and His rain. By 400p when we dismounted we were...
06.14.11 Skinny Chestney Ride
Rush home after work for change of clothes, eat a bite of salad, then off to ride for a bit. We're enjoying wonderful weather at present. It is beautifully warm, not hot, and so light and breezy....
06.10.11 Pipsissewa Ride
Our God is an AWESOME God. I don't have a lot of 19 hour days and not that I ever wondered, but now I know why. My day began with leaving my house on schedule at 600a with trailer. Got back home...
06.05.11 Clyde Ride
As in Clydesdale. Took Kate out for a spin today. She gets A's and F's. A's for her behavior and cooperation. F's for her condition and health. Don't know what her condition is specifically, but...
05.22.11 Shady Ride
Great ride today, even though it was quite hot this afternoon. We chose to stay on the FS road rather than make the loop. This means we had to backtrack home, but I think it was worth...
05.07.11 Derby Day Ride at Westover
Very good to have Ashley and Windstar, and Carly and Chance with us. Windstar was a little anxious at first but Ashley settled her nicely. I think the final count of riders was 22 or 23, but I'm...
04.14.11 Evening Ride
What a lovely way to spend a Thursday evening. Yes, I know it was the day before the dreaded TAX DAY, and yes I still had taxes to do, BUT I can do taxes in the middle of the night while half...
04.10.11 Sunday Ride
It's Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy! After church, I spent the rest of the beautiful day riding. Hot in APRIL, but beautiful anyway. Not sure how I'm going to handle July if April...
