Saturday, January 21, 2017 Those who know me will not find it hard to agree when I say subtlety is often lost on me. I have a (now) favorite story where God continued to try to point me the right direction and I resisted until I finally pulled a muscle trying to go my ownContinue reading “Rest. “

Heart: on the road part deux
Sunday, January 15, 2017 This was too good of an update not to post so here’s a brief follow up to the Heart progress blog even though it’s the same day! Sunday was not as wet and cold as I’d expected so after some house chores (woke up and realized my barn was probably cleanerContinue reading “Heart: on the road part deux”
Heart: on the road.
Sunday, January 15, 2017 K seems to have pulled something in her shoulder and is slightly off so she’s on rest. If I had to guess it is a product of muddy fields and her self appointed job of keeping Wild Heart ‘in line’. Sometimes her bucking and galloping and sliding are less then graceful. Continue reading “Heart: on the road. “
Mud.
Friday, January 13, 2017 She asked if we could find some mud to train in. After frozen ice and snow with a low Sunday night of 3 degrees, the temps rose to almost 60 Thursday with bouts of rain coming through. This ridge road was a total mess in spots. After climbing to the ridgeContinue reading “Mud.”
Trial & Error (& Error…)
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”
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”
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”
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. “
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”
