Monday, January 2, 2017 I’m not sure if this is a good first post of the year or a bad one. The January 1 change over to a New year seems somewhat man-made and arbitrary. In fact, if it were up to me I would have separated these big holidays out more over the year.Continue reading “Trial & Error (& Error…)”

Middle School
Friday, December 30, 2016 Winter has come. Now I’m getting ready for Khaleesi’s second (full) season. I am not completely new to endurance, but I’m far from an experienced rider. I suppose figuratively I’m moving into the awkward middle school years. This winter I am taking a horse with 5 LD rides and 3Continue reading “Middle School”
Margin, Barn Therapy & The Work
Who would you be without your story? Friday, December 23, 2016 Merry Christmas! During this Holiday season I’ve found myself building up internally with small stresses and irritations- running short on time and daylight to do all I want to get done. A friend of mine recently shared a similar experience with things we bothContinue reading “Margin, Barn Therapy & The Work”
Heart: the process
December 11, 2016 Wild Heart came about a month ago and I’ve mentioned her in the blog but not been very focused on her here. Green to 100 is the story of Khaleesi and me on a journey to a one-day 100, but Heart fits in the story as a team member and the thingsContinue reading “Heart: the process”
Wild Heart
Monday, October 31, 2016 Hello team green fans. This blog is an update and explanation of how October and ride season is wrapping up. First there is no Fort Valley update because we didn’t go. No- Khaleesi isn’t injured and she was basically ready to go and hopefully complete one last 50 of our firstContinue reading “Wild Heart”
The Big Lonely
Friday, October 14, 2016 One of the highlights of endurance training is getting to do it with good friends! This blog is simply a photo treat of a two day ride I organized to climb some mountains, navigate some rocks, and get some interval training – and also an excuse to have a little girlContinue reading “The Big Lonely”
Power of the Mind
Tuesday, October 11, 2016 Seventeen days until our last ride of the season. I’ve heard Fort Valley is a challenge. As all the Old Dominion rides it’s rocky and rough, and mountainous. The variable however is weather. The OD in June is going to be hot- only a question of how hot and how humid.Continue reading “Power of the Mind”
Get it done.
Monday, October 3, 2016 To follow up – pretty quickly – to my last blog; I did get back on that mare and we had a good ride. There’s something about being tossed that changed something in me. In looking back I think she was begging me to be a good leader like a kidContinue reading “Get it done. “
Balance Point
Sunday, October 2, 2016 I hope you have enjoyed riding high with me through my blogs lately… as sure as the world turns nothing lasts forever. Balance has been a key theme in my life for a long long time. A long time. I’ve heard that slightly ‘unbalanced’ people are often very effective and changeContinue reading “Balance Point”
Let go.
Wednesday, September 29, 2016 Khaleesi and I are on a good streak lately: strong connection and great solo rides. I try to use “I” and “Me” because my horse is always perfect. She is a horse after all. She doesn’t lie and she always acts like a horse. She is a mirror at best andContinue reading “Let go.”
