Monday, September 21, 2015 Khaleesi has had a well deserved break, and Faygo and I have taken a few rides- a little alone time together, and some trail clearing and riding fun with Nancy and Mireyah. It’s been forever since we’ve ridden with them and that was a great ride. We got off and clippedContinue reading “The little things”

The Big South Fork
Monday, September 14, 2015 I was on the fence about this ride. I worried about the long drive. I worried that we would drive all that way for a miserable ride in the pouring rain and lightning. I worried that I have too much to do to give three full days to this self-indulgent hobbyContinue reading “The Big South Fork”
All my bags are packed…
I’m ready to go… Friday, September 11, 2015 I’m a little nervous…. how will the long drive be? The weather promises to rain, but how much? Is she ready for this weekend? Am I ready? How will the truck do on this longer haul… (though we’re much less loaded down with only one horse)? WeContinue reading “All my bags are packed…”
Which Way Challenge
This is a fun blog challenge a little out of the scope of green to 100’s usual fare. I was inspired by a great blog I’ve been following (Little Pieces of Me) who did a which way post. The object of Cee’s Which Way Challenge is to capture “the roads, walks, trails, rails, we move from oneContinue reading “Which Way Challenge”
Cross Training
Tuesday, September 8, 2015 I have been lucky enough to have a buddy around who has been able to ride with me a few times recently and I’ve been getting the girls out together which they enjoy. A few days ago I went to ride Khaleesi and ended up getting both girls out for aContinue reading “Cross Training”
Needs improvement.
Wednesday, September 2, 2015 Our official grade at the end of the Iron Mountain ride was an “A-“. I am so pleased that Khaleesi and I completed the ride, finished in time, healthy, and in good spirits even if we were close to the back of the pack. I took a few days to just baskContinue reading “Needs improvement.”
Right where we’re supposed to be.
From Saturday, August 29, 2015 …Iron Mountain weekend continued from “8 feet on the ground” One of the things I love about this community of endurance riders is how people who’ve never met before help each other out. I put out an ask on the FB community for any riders going to the Iron MountainContinue reading “Right where we’re supposed to be.”
8 feet on the ground
From Friday, August 28, 2015 With everything loaded in we hit the road on Thursday and though my poor truck was loaded down, we made it to Ivanhoe mid-afternoon to set up camp on the New River. It was the first big weekend for my new trailer which is so nice to have! My truckContinue reading “8 feet on the ground”
Shoes
Wednesday, August 26, 2015 Quick update for ride week! Yesterday we put shoes on Khaleesi. My farrier asked if we should sedate her to ensure she had a good first experience (and for his safety should she jerk her foot away with nails in it). I said we could, but let’s see how she doesContinue reading “Shoes”
Off balance
Tuesday, August 25, 2015 Back in the saddle again! Felt good to be back on a horse and to see the girls are doing well after their vacation. My first thought was that Khaleesi had gained 50 pounds, but after a nice ride she looks pretty good! Tim came over and rode Faygo and LaurieContinue reading “Off balance”
