Monday, October 5, 2015 This blog seems to be a kitchen sink kind of entry as it’s forming very loosely in my mind. We’ve had some pretty ugly weather in the past week. Storms off the coast and other weather fronts have socked us in with some rain, wind and cooler temperatures. Thankfully some sunshineContinue reading “The Kitchen Sink”

Get it done
Tuesday, September 29, 2015 September has been a tough month to balance. Work has kicked into gear with early fall activities that keep me organizing, teaching, rehearsing (driving all around the area) and communicating at a good clip. I am grateful that Khaleesi is in shape right now and just needs some maintenance riding toContinue reading “Get it done”
The little things
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”
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.”
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”
Communication.
Sunday, August 16, 2015 Officially I am on vacation in Southern Oregon and haven’t seen my horses in days, but this post woke me up before light this morning asking to be written. I did a little more riding at the end of last week I hadn’t written about, but also some horse world intersecting withContinue reading “Communication.”
The Alleghany Trail
Friday, August 7, 2015 Friday the “gang” did 24 miles on section 2 of the Alleghany Trail from Durbin to Cass/Dunmore. Except for the few grassy ridge trail sections it was muddy, mountainous, rocky and rough. The excessive rain this year not only created deep mud sucks in the valleys and stream beds, but alsoContinue reading “The Alleghany Trail”
Training the athlete
Wednesday, August 5, 2015 I had the whole day and decided to drop myself off on the road to Wilson Mountain and ride home from there along the ridge. It’s a beautiful ride and one that passes through a hunt camp that is off-limits during hunting season so I wanted to ride through there againContinue reading “Training the athlete”
Love the one you’re with!
Tuesday, August 4, 2015 I spent the last week in Charleston, SC working with great teachers and students in the American Music System. We had a fantastic time and I enjoyed the sights and tastes of the beautiful historic city. I was inspired by fellow musicians and encouraged by wonderful students. But it’s always soContinue reading “Love the one you’re with!”
