Monday, July 12, 2016 What on earth has green been up to lately? We are taking a little time mid-summer to not march incessantly toward our goals… Enjoying the ride so to speak. After the OD Khaleesi got a solid two weeks off. I’m happy to report that poulticing and wrapping her legs and maybeContinue reading “The in between “

Empty the Trash
Monday, June 26, 2016 Somehow I’ve picked up a clog in my system. I have a feeling it’s been building from a slowing of the flow to an all out blockage and after that happens the trash starts to accumulate. I can rationalize the clog is not worth keeping- but nothing I try casually seemsContinue reading “Empty the Trash”
Love in a Rectangle
Thursday, June 23, 2016 Twelve days after the OD 50 and Khaleesi’s rear joints are almost back to no fluid at all. The first time they filled last fall it took a few weeks for them to go down so this is good improvement. I hope building her fitness, continuing to work and rest herContinue reading “Love in a Rectangle”
Leadership Material
Saturday, June 18, 2016 We’re back in rest & recovery mode; I have put in a little groundwork time, some attention to Faygo and even got one of the farm horses out for another fitness ride so he’s ready when ‘mom’ returns to ride him this summer. Oh- and I’ve gotten some gardening and paperworkContinue reading “Leadership Material”
Every Little Thing
Monday, June 13, 2016 It was the Old Dominion (I had never heard of Tevis) that first captured my imagination of riding 100 miles through an article in a local electrical co-op magazine. The ride is nicknamed the Beast of the East and of the riders I’ve met (a very limited sampling) who’ve ridden bothContinue reading “Every Little Thing”
Get it done
Thursday, June 8, 2016 My week hasn’t gone exactly as planned. After a Tuesday with a ton of small bloopers and small mostly harmless mishaps I looked forward to ending the day with a cool drink and a few early packing chores. As I jumped in my truck to drive home from the barn –Continue reading “Get it done”
The Irony of Ride Season
Monday, June 6, 2016 …..so wait a minute. Let me do the math here… I spend all winter riding my horse as much as possible even when it’s not fun and then we finally come out of the cold and get into ride season, and if I do one 50 mile ride per month withContinue reading “The Irony of Ride Season”
Bear Hollow Training
Wendesday, June 1, 2016 After two solid weeks off and some shorter rides to get back in the swing- she is rolling on ahead full steam toward our second and more challenging 50. We did a fun ‘home brew’ LD over the weekend where I loaded up Kahleesi and Faygo in the morning withContinue reading “Bear Hollow Training”
Progress
Friday, May 27, 2016 I took a personality profile as a college student (Myers Briggs type) and remember distinctly the line that stated for my type the best way to see something get accomplished is to tell me either it can’t be done, or can’t be done by me. Note to husband if he everContinue reading “Progress”
The more you know you don’t know.
Tuesday, May 24, 2016 We went to see my closest mentor today! It’s so nice to have some experienced eyes on what I’m doing. I need some direction and help. I’m full of inspiration yet floundering around with my groundwork and on Sunday our time in the arena was less than perfect. It was soContinue reading “The more you know you don’t know. “
