Today is the 1 year anniversary of green to 100! Thought I would repost the innagural blog for fun. Thanks for reading our story. I look forward to the next year of learning! Source: Snow-an introduction

Baby it’s cold outside
Monday, January 18, 2016 15*F. I’m not sure if that is the coldest I’ve ridden in or not. It was at least sunny so I thought – why not? So it’s cold. I have layers. I often say the only ride I regret is the one I didn’t take. I think I could haveContinue reading “Baby it’s cold outside”
Serpentina
Sunday, January 17, 2016 Make tracks around every sagebrush in this area. It could take you all day- but once you do it you’ll have the best riding you’ve known yet. (Loosely quoted from Buck on the 7clinics set) The saddle came right before my 2 busiest days of the week which called for greatContinue reading “Serpentina “
It’s here!!!!!!!!!!
I love it… Jamie Evan at Phoenix Rising (formerly Imus) did a fantastic job of making their great saddle with a few tweaks that make it work better for us! Can’t wait to ride in it later this week! I also use their bits and love them too! Lots of great horseContinue reading “It’s here!!!!!!!!!!”
The Think
Tuesday, January 11, 2016 You’ve got to get the lead rope to mean something to the horse. We spent two afternoons at the barn just training this weekend. I forget when I get doing so much riding how much we both enjoy the learning and communicating process. Our ‘dance’ on the lead is going wellContinue reading “The Think”
Untracked
Saturday, January 9, 2016 Update on the turn around behavior: Khaleesi tries to turn me around on the trail about…. 5-8 times a ride. It generally happens early in the ride (not after we’re headed home) and is more likely if we are bypassing a trail that would take us toward home. Considering we ride for 12-15 milesContinue reading “Untracked”
Stay Flexible
Thursday, January 7, 2016 I’ve often told my students that learning the violin is like trying to carry too many marbles at one time. You carry as many as you can then you drop a few, pick them back up… carry them a little farther, drop others, pick them up… you do what you can.Continue reading “Stay Flexible”
Ride on 2016
January 2, 2016 Last year was my first introduction to endurance and the start of my blog. This year I know just enough to be dangerous… And still have a long learning curve to go. I do have a few goals for this year, and hopefully they will help me continue with sound healthy horsesContinue reading “Ride on 2016”
Of Selfie sticks and stats…
December 30, 2015 As we wrap up 2015- my first year in endurance and in blogging- I can see we’ve been active! My first post was in January and according to WordPress stats I’ve added 85 entries (so this is 86!) and had almost 3,000 views (WOW!) and my most common post day has beenContinue reading “Of Selfie sticks and stats…”
Home sweet home.
Sunday, December 27, 2015 Very glad to be home after a nice visit with family. After a 5-day vacation the girls got out for a nice ride in the sweltering 72 degree afternoon. They did better than I’d expected with their winter coats already grown in but we took it easy on them just theContinue reading “Home sweet home. “
