I’ve been taking ride photos for a long time now on endurance and training rides. It’s a lot of fun and sometimes I get lucky and get a really spectacular shot. The main thing to remember with digital cameras is that it doesn’t cost any more to take several shots. Then, delete the ones that [...]

Here is a quick and easy way to attach your jacket to the front of your saddle. Click on the photo to go to my webshots photo album. 1) Get two long pieces of string – it can be a boot lace, or my preference is bungee by the yard in the thickness of a [...]

Here is some information for the next upcoming 5-day 250 mile XP ride: All five days of the Grand Canyon XP are out of the same basecamp which is located in Dry Park, on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. We ride through beautiful aspen and conifer forests and across wide open meadows through [...]
There is a nicely written article over at Web Worker Daily today covering photo permission online. Click here to read “Understanding Online Photo Rights”. I’m bringing this up because I regularly get requests to use my ride photos. More often than not, people use them without asking permission. I am generally pretty good about granting [...]
Sounds like it was a great ride yesterday with approximately 36 out of 51 horses finishing. This was the second 100 for little Tigger and everybody reported that he did great! I’m so glad for them both and happy that Dave now has a going 100 mile horse. Go Tigger! They finished in the top [...]
Here are some photos showing the damage from Hurricane Ike to Mike M’s place (AERC president for you endurance riders) in Houston, Texas. It’ll be a couple more weeks before they get their power restored. Looks like quite a bit of work to get things cleaned up. Glad there were no injuries. Good luck with [...]
For several years now I’ve been attaching my horses hay bags and buckets to the side of the horse trailer. This works great and makes things a lot neater and easier. Especially at rides where we need to clean up all evidence of us being there. It’s much easier to clean up if you haven’t [...]
Here is a song written and performed by a couple of friends, Mimi and Geoff called “I Ain’t Joking”.

Good job [...]

If your horse happens to get loose if you are traveling or camping (or at an endurance ride), these are a great way to provide identification – especially if your horses manages to slip out of his/her halter. I braid these metal ID tags into the horses manes when I travel with the horses or [...]
This is a recent video that covers the entire Metrolink train disaster that occurred last Friday near Los Angeles, California. My brother in law is in this video. I won’t say where, so he can keep his privacy but at least other family members were able to see this when it first aired live and [...]
