I had such a great time in Australia! I got to do a lot of fun things before the Functional Hoof Conference started. This is a photo of all of the speakers and presenters – what an honor to be included in this group. I had the best time talking about my horses, endurance riding, managing barefoot horses and also was able to get a word or two in about Renegade boots too. I Continue reading I’m back from Oz! by Karen Chaton I wrote this in early 2001, printed it out and put it in my binder for the ’01 XP ride and I don’t think I’ve seen this since then, till last night. My grandmother is now gone, so reading that part was really hard. Her father (my great grandfather) rode a horse from Oklahoma City to New York and back twice, and from Oklahoma City to San Francisco, CA. Grandma’s family Continue reading I want to be an XP rider….. Here I am on Tulip, riding next to Nannette and Sensational Flame. Photo by Steve Bradley. I think that I am pretty fortunate to be offered the opportunity to ride Tulip on the second day. For those that don’t know, Tulip is a Morab endurance horse that holds the record for having the most endurance miles on the sport. With this ride, Tulip has 21,630 miles. Here is a link to his AERC Continue reading Grand Canyon XP Day 2: “It’s Tulip Time” Stellarium is a really cool program that you can use to view a simulation of the night sky in realtime – basically your own personal desktop planetarium! This means that the skies will look exactly like what you see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope. You can set it to real time, reverse or go forward and go even faster or slower! It’s easy to zoom in on objects as well as Continue reading Would you like to have the night sky on your computer? I have so much to blog about and can’t seem to narrow it down at any one time and focus on just one topic. I haven’t even finished writing up about my ride at Tevis this year! For this post I’ll just stick with writing about the pre-ride trail marking and such from the Bryce Canyon 5 day XP ride that was the first week of September. I left for the ride a week Continue reading Adventures in trail marking Wow! Will try to write more later and post more photos. Till then, if you are on FB, check them out there! I rode Chief today and had a GREAT time with Dave and Jackie (who were on White Cloud and James Dean). Karen I rode Bo today, maybe 10 to 12 miles with Jackie and her horse Tank. We had a really great ride. I still have not managed to find the time to finish writing up about our Tevis adventures. Though, suffice it to say we had a really great ride and since then Bo has been a superstar. Bo has been extremely friendly, even leaving food to come over and say hi and get petted Continue reading Riding, riding, riding! While I haven’t had anything as exciting happen as occurs in this video, I’ve been busy and look forward to catching up next week! |
