Ride and Camp Photos from the Grand Canyon XP Endurance Ride

Imagine riding through this!

Imagine riding through this on your horse!

I know i got a little ambitious with the photos but here are quite a few in an album that include the first day of trail, second day camp plus some pre-ride stuff. You can really tell how the terrain is so beautiful and varied, and how the riders are all having such a great time.

The colors are so bright and vivid, especially against a bright blue sky like the first day when I rode – we had so much variety of fall colors to go with the brilliant Grand Canyon rim colors that it was always changing and taking our breath away.

In this photo, Chief is leading up a canyon that is grown over with grass and is filled with various types of pines and aspens which are all in various stages of changing colors for fall/winter.

Riding a broke horse
Yesterday at my lesson I rode a broke horse for the very first time in my life. No no no - you silly non-horsey person. Not "broken", "BROKE". The kind of broke where the horse looks up at you with a kind eye and says "here, let me" and then proceeds to take you on the ride of your life. Zack is a HUGE 16.3 hand horse (br […]

***This post will be updated with pictures at a later date....(can't post pics by e-mailing posts, which is how I'm updating my blog). In the meantime, if you want the pics that go with the post, leave your e-mail in the comments and I'll send them your way. First some updates based on comments from the previous post: The essential items of […]

Welcome to the Future
This will mark my 100th blog post. A huge THANK YOU to all of my readers...you are the reason I keep blogging! I started blogging due to the fact that I enjoy writing, and this would be a good outlet for that, as well as wanting a place to catalog my accounts of rides and pony antics. I started blogging in April of 2007, so it's taken my this long to […]
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Happy Birthday, Dad! Today is my father's XXth birthday...he can enlighten anyone who asks what numbers are supposed to fill in those x's. :))) I couldn't ask for a better riding partner to spend the hours and miles with along the trail. Thank you for following me into this crazy horse obsession, and for making me a better horseperson along […]

Officially Official
Sunday afternoon, and I am sitting in the Reno Nevada airport, watching the snow fall. Last night it started before sunset, and has kept falling. It reminds me that this happened to us just last week at home! But here, they actually have snow plows, and are prepared for such weather. Our flight is delayed so far, about an hour, but we have no place else to […]
Almost......
It is almost here. In less than 24 hours we will have our big awards banquet and we will receive the award we aimed for this past ride season. As I watch a bit of the Olympics, I look at the faces of the competitors, and know a bit about the thoughts they have as they get read to compete, or afterwards waiting for scores, or later, as those who won, stand u […]

"The Untouchables" Aired a Potent Series Episode Fifty Years Ago Today
As so aptly noted by The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows: "With the chatter of machine-gun fire and the squeal of tires on Chicago streets, The Untouchables brought furious controversy— and big ratings— to ABC in the early 1960s." This was no more evident than in the March 10, 1960 episode "The White Slavers." […]
Stephen J. Cannell on "Wiseguy"
Wiseguy: The Collector's Edition gets released on DVD tomorrow. Although short-lived (it ran from 1987-90), Wiseguy garnered Emmy nominations for Best Drama series and acting nominations for star Ken Wahl and supporting player Jonathan Banks; Wahl was awarded the Golden Globe.
