I think the horses like their new haircuts! It has been nice enough to take their blankets off during the day.
Tomorrow we are heading to Perris, CA for the Bar H ride where the horses will get to enjoy sunny and 70′ish degree weather.
It looks like there will be a good turnout for the [...]

Here are some photos of my horses from today. I body clipped both Chief and Bo. Next week I’ll be going down to Bar H in Perris, Ca. My horses will hardly need their heavy winter coats. I like to clip a week ahead of time, that way their coats have some time to grow [...] When I ran across this photo earlier while looking at photos to add to the previous posts about the 2011 ride I had to laugh. Here are a few photos from the ride Saturday. I’ve got lots more still to download and will post more later. I have a feeling that for this upcoming ride I’ll be the weak link. I managed to get through four days of the Mojave ride, but just barely. I made it home then went to the orthopedist right away. The xrays showed that I have calcified tendonitis in my shoulder. So I got a steroid [...] I said that to Bo a lot today. It was funny, kind of like the song “Jimmy Crack Corn”….only it was more like “I know you wanna go faster and I don’t care…you wanna go faster, and I don’t care…we ain’t gonna go faster…so there! (because I do care) Not that there isn’t anything wrong [...] Today turned out to be quite nice. I had a fantastic ride on Chief, though it’s rare that I don’t – he such a sweetheart and I so love riding him. At the start he was pretty amped up but settled in after a few miles and was pretty good all day. Been busy so haven’t had time to post much lately. Leaving in the a.m. to go down to Mountain Pass to help get the trail marked for the Eastern Mojave Scenic ride which starts next Friday. I’m not sure if I should call my horses giant beavers or monkeys! They are apparently getting bored playing in the mud and the snow. I’m a little slow with this post but haven’t had a lot of time to really think about planning what I’d like to accomplish this ride season with my two horses. Lots of horse people have a tub of ichthamol in their tack room somewhere. I know I do! I recently used the stuff which got me curious about what the other uses are for it. Ichthamol isn’t something that I have used very often. Here are some photos from the Death Valley ride. We had a nice time. My husband Dave went with me to move the rig. We did have a funny noise coming from the truck when we slowed down going into Bishop….crud! Turns out it was the truck brakes and it’s getting fixed as we speak. I am so excited about getting to go and ride in a warmer climate. The weather is looking really good for the trip, and also for the ride. I haven’t decided yet which horse I’ll ride which days. Last year I rode Chief days 1 and 2, and Bo day 3 and 4. I remember [...] I decided to ride Bo the first day. I’m not sure why, maybe because Chief did more miles trail marking so I figured he could use the extra day break he’d get before going on day 2? In either case, there wasn’t any real definite reason for picking which horse to ride which day. Sometimes [...] |
