About Me:

I have been envolved in endurance since 1982. Riding, crewing, volunteering and just plain loving it. My husband and I basically just trail ride now, but our trail rides are still ridden like we are "conditioning" for that upcoming ride. Ed and I enjoy riding together and this is what we do together as a couple. He is just as horse crazy as I am! We have recently gone "barefoot" and my husband is a natural balance barefoot trimmer now. My husband (Ed) rides a 7 yr old Fox Trotter/Arab gelding now. This horse has been barefoot most of his life, and I have my 14 yr old Arab gelding that I have had the pleasure of riding now for a little over 2 yrs. He has been barefoot now for 6 months and is doing really well on the trails with no boots. We have owned and ridden alot of different horses over the years. The 2 boys that are in our lives now are here to stay. They are simply the best, sane, fun, horses yet.

I just love my Boz and use only a dixie midnight pad under my saddle and it fits everyone. I do have 2 sets of pads that I use for different horses, the thicker on I use on my thoroughbred types and the thiner one I use on my chubby Apps. I have been breeding Appaloosa's for over 30 years and they all look like the george Phippen original appaloosa, and am on my 5th generation. Sorry I have not figured out how to do a photo as yet.

I have a heckuva time finding farriers to barefoot trim my girl...we've got a great guy where I go to school, but I get nothing but poo-poo's while I'm in Boise for the summer. Sad, as she's such a sweet girl! Good luck going barefoot---I love it!
