Monday, May 1, 2017 I haven’t updated Heart’s journey in a while. I have been writing more about Khaleesi as she so far is having a good 3rd season as an endurance horse. The other side is that I haven’t been sure what exactly to write about. I’d been watching her progress nicely then graduallyContinue reading “Heart: Disrespect “

Refined through the fire.
April 26, 2017 Where to begin? There’s been a lag in my blogging because I’ve been too busy doing to catch up with writing. Let me try to sum it up. Since my last blog post: my mother came to visit. We hosted a two-day private horsemanship type clinic together with friends (horsemanship seems theContinue reading “Refined through the fire. “
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”
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.”
Dream it.
Friday, July 29, 2016 I thought the last post would be the final for July but this evenings little 4.25 mile ride deserves mention. First Nette and friends created a custom felt shim pad for me from a template of Pam’s to pull the front of my saddle up just a touch. We’ve established thatContinue reading “Dream it. “
Why we do it.
Friday, July 15, 2016 I recently read an endurance news article about “Why we do it” regarding this whole endurance riding business. The article talked about the spirit of adventure and what drives men (women of course included in the generic human term) to strive for great feats. The famous quote about why climb Everest?Continue reading “Why we do it. “
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”
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”
All things old…
Monday, May 23, 2016 As promised, work has been busy after returning from the Buck clinic. Still I’ve carved out a get back on the trail afternoon for a 12 mile ride and snuck in a morning to warm up our arena skills inspired by seeing the work in action in Reno. I saw someContinue reading “All things old…”
