One Last May Flower Ride

Had a chance to get one more ride in for the VV May Flower Ride. Freddy came back and he's definitely hooked, he wanted more miles!! So we did a very technical, tough hill loop. It was about 9 miles in 2.5 hours. That was good since it was either up or down almost all the way. Freddy's doing great. My only disappointment is that I forgot the camera again, darn. The flowers were really beautiful up at almost 4000 feet and the view was wonderful due to the windy weather. Hard to believe it was…

VV May Flowers Ride

Well, it's only fitting that there should be some pictures of FLOWERS! Although they were not taken while riding, they are from my usual riding trails. This one is the Palo Verde tree in my yard and the rest were taken at Vasquez Rocks Park…

I've got a Junior rider!!

I'm so excited! My nephew Freddy, who has come with me to many endurance rides, has taken the first step to becoming an endurance rider! He has already proven himself to be a great camper, good company and an ace dog sitter! He loves the horses and has been asking for a while when he might be able to try, but he'd never ridden my horses outside the corral. Well, for a while I only had one rideable horse and then when I did have 2, I felt they were just too much for him. I couldn't figure how…

Vasquez Rocks Loop March 16

A beautiful Sunday for a ride! I was at Vasquez Rocks on Saturday with my niece and hiked down into Little Horse Canyon and the stream was flowing nicely and there were tons of beautiful yellow flowers blooming. We took a lot of pictures and ended up caught in a very sudden shower which turned to slush and then turned to snow, but only for about an hour. But we raced to the truck and turned on the heat really quickly as we only had light clothing on. The temp. went from 56 degrees to 36 in a…

20 Mule Team Ride, is it REALLY March??

Well, did we luck out or what? Arrived at ride camp at 11 on Friday and selected an area to set up a somewhat circular camp with 3 rigs around a central area for the horses. This was to prevent too much wind exposure as in years past. WHAT WIND? About 20 minutes into setting up camp, I was hot! Woah, THIS is WINTER? I have frozen at this ride for the last 3 years, with wind, rain, ice, snow and frozen water buckets on the menu. It was so beautiful this year. And we had the giant flocks (?) of…

Hey Diane, you have FUN at those rides. Especially the 20 Mule Team. That's a ride I'd really like to get to some year.

Aw you wimp :P Well I was planning 2 55's in March and start april off with a 75 but it's looking as "money" is changing that plan!! So will probably do our first 50 in April instead of March. Plus now that were gonna put shoes on the horses, we get a big snow storm so now it's nothing but ice! Nicaragua sounds like fun! My brother went to costa rica this past winter for mission work and is planning on going back next winter for a few months. Good luck at your next ride!

How did your ride go?

Thank you for rthe comment! I'm not so sure I'll breed Rikka to Echo first but will definitely in the future. I love his breeding. And Cheri is such a wonderful lady! I've gotten more response from her about her studs than anyone else I've spoken with.

Yes, I'm very serious about going to a one week program this june, on equine massage. Probably farrier school next year, when my mare will be bred, I will only do a 50 or two in spring-summer with her and then she'll need to take it easy with her precious cargo until the following year. Perhaps you can get me an "invite" at that deaf school your cousin works at!! Being in the endurance "secret" society and all. LOL just kidding!

I will go on that website and look at Echo's pics. I also received a number of pics from Cheri Briscoe.
Thanks!

My husband grew up in Agua Dulce (well, some of the time)! Have you lived there very long? His mom used to own a hair salon in the little shopping area there in "town".

I don't think the average Endurance Rider has IV supplies at hand.
Nor do most have IV drugs on hand. I personally do have Bute paste
now. Nearly every Endurance Rider I know has a first aid kit at some
level or another.

Bare necessities for me are: Vet Wrap, ice wraps, bandage (usually a
kotex) for bleeding, polo wraps. All of this I can carry on the
saddle have in the trailer.
