Here are photos of some things left at XP rides in the last year. If any of these belong to you, email me and let me know who you are and if you know somebody that will be at Bryce, Virgin Rim or Grand Canyon rides that we can send your item home with.
Here are a few photos from the Grandview trail that is part of the Bryce Canyon XP in Utah, where we ride a lot under the rim – pink cliffs. It’s gorgeous, of course. This year is extra special because some new trail has been reopened that hasn’t been available to be used for several [...]
I can’t even begin to choose a favorite photo from the Bryce Canyon XP. I’ve had some of my favorite photos made into enlargements and framed. It’s hard to take a bad photo with scenery like this! The scenery is truly beautiful and almost surreal when you ride through it. I always find a certain [...]
I took these photos today and managed to get all three horses in the photos. Bo is the bay (brown) colored horse that has developed a case of warts. Yesterday I scraped the outer surface off of the warts and am now waiting to see if they’ll clear up on their own. I have been [...]
Here are a couple of horse videos, enjoy! I’ve been busy stacking hay this week. Just got a large squeeze load which is around 80 bales of really large three wire bales. It’s a gorgeous, 2nd cutting grass mix that is also weed free certified. I wish the hay storage area was high enough to [...]
I put up a huge album of photos from the ride yesterday. There are photos from three of us – two riders. Mine are bay colored ears and Sue’s photos grey colored. Here are a few of the photos. To see the entire album, click here. This was Jackie’s 24th year for this ride and [...]
Food, Inc. will be coming out in theaters soon. This documentary takes on the debate over corporate farming and environmental consciousness to a wide audience. The reviews so far have mostly been good with some citing an extreme viewpoint on the topic. It is not a bad thing to question where our food comes from! [...]
The AERC National Championship ride for 2009 is being held in beautiful Greenville, California at a privately owned summer camp called Copper Creek. The ride is 2 hours from Lake Tahoe, 30 minutes from Lassen National Park, and about 5 hours from the San Francisco Bay Area. Camp will be in a large meadow with [...]
Here are some photos of the trail. I took these today – my friend Amy rode Bo for me, and I rode Cheefy. We had a great time and the horses really seemed to enjoy the trail. It is in a beautiful area and is a really nice ride. There is still time to enter [...]
I really miss Weaver. I’m going to go mark some trail tomorrow for the EHSC (Eastern High Sierra Classic) ride. This photo is of Weaver in a previous year when we marked trail for that ride. We also rode the EHSC 50 a lot of times. It was my first 50….on Weaver. Fifteen years ago. [...]
This is a photo showing my running martingale after it has been altered. The single snap on the top clips to the center ring on a breastcollar. The other side originally had round rings on each end. I took the stitching out of the biothane there and took those round rings off. I put the [...]
Okay where do I start? I’ve had a busy and exciting couple of days with lots of good news. First and most importantly – BO PASSED HIS VET EXAM!! Whew. Major sigh of relief! Actually, I was pretty confident that he would and I think he would have passed it about two weeks before the [...]
Another Tevis Cup ride is now history. Out of 169 starters, 87 completed this year for a 51% completion rate. Some of the stats have been posted on the Tevis News Twitter page. Once more info comes in and gets verified it’ll go up on the Tevis Cup website. I had originally planned to ride [...]
