Wednesday, May 17, 2017 K and I met Amy Stone and Frills at a nearby trailhead Sunday to see how the mares get along and if they can pace together. For all the time we’ve spent together in camp, and K and I rode almost the entire Blackwater ride with Ricky (Amy’s husband) and Ziggy…Continue reading “Finally Frills…”

Dragonfly in the sun… you know what I mean..
Butterfly out having fun… you know what I mean… Saturday, May 13, 2017 Back to song lyrics again. Sometimes I just can’t get them out of my head and this one has stuck since my last ride a couple days ago. Feeling Good… One month till our first 100 and the assignment from my enduranceContinue reading “Dragonfly in the sun… you know what I mean..”
green to….
Sunday, May 7, 2017 Just over two years ago as an avid trail rider I decided to take on the ambitious goal of a single-day 100 mile ride. I can’t tell you exactly what possessed me to decide this, but something inspired me and I think I said it out loud at a dinner partyContinue reading “green to….”
Heart: Disrespect
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. “
Hills & Halters
Monday, April 10, 2017 Gladly I don’t have much new to report! I’m still riding Khaleesi in the halter and loving it. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll grab my bit again and under what circumstances that would be. What I’ve found from riding in the halter is that (first) I’m better all around becauseContinue reading “Hills & Halters”
Connected.
Saturday, April 1, 2017 Circumstances has been such that Khaleesi has had more rest and down time than she probably needed. Or maybe if you look at life a certain way- what you get is always exactly what you need. How do you know? Because it’s what is and it can be nothing but that. Continue reading “Connected. “
The road to Blackwater
Friday, March 3, 2017 All systems are go so we plan to hit the road in the morning. My farrier came Wednesday to put the shoe back on- turns out his schedule changed and he showed up while I was at work instead of later in the evening as we’d planned. This always makes meContinue reading “The road to Blackwater “
The edge of the known.
Monday, February 27, 2017 Go ahead and get the shoe back on when you can and let’s if she stays sound….. I’ve been icing Khaleesi’s hoof and changed the poultice wrap a few times. This is her last day on butte (for inflammation in the hoof) and we also put her on low dose ofContinue reading “The edge of the known. “
Getting there part 2
Later on Thursday, February 23, 2017 We loaded up at 7:30am and headed down the mountain to the vet. Khaleesi was already improved from 3-legged lame the previous day but she was still noticeably off. My farrier said he was sorry he couldn’t meet us at the vet and I assured him we’d stay inContinue reading “Getting there part 2”
