Tevis Video – lots of footage from the 2009 ride!

Some Holiday Humor – Down the road I go, sliding all the way!

I thought this was great….enjoy~! I posted the lyrics below the video.

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
IN MY RUSTY CHEVROLET
DOWN THE ROAD I GO
SLIDING ALL THE WAY
I NEED NEW PISTON RINGS
I NEED SOME NEW SNOW TIRES
MY CAR IS HELD TOGETHER
BY A PIECE OF CHICKEN WIRE
CHORUS:
RUST AND SMOKE THE HEATER’S BROKE
THE DOOR JUST BLEW AWAY
I LIGHT A [...]

Does your horse move when you mount before you tell it to?

Endurance riders especially are really bad about allowing their horses to develop bad habits like moving or walking off when mounted.  Being that I’m vertically challenged and riding horses that are all as tall or taller than I am, it is necessary for me that my own horses stand still.  I’m not very tolerant of [...]

Riding in sand, High Desert endurance ride, lucky ride #7

I took this video at the High Desert ride in October.  I rode Bo both days there and this was some of the trail on the second day.  We finished in the top ten that day and were 1st in our weight division, so there aren’t a lot of tracks ahead of us – I [...]

Video from NAEC – Kentucky Mud anyone?

and this…is what it looked like before the mud…

High Desert Endurance Ride 2009

The High Desert endurance ride this year was especially colorful. The fall colors were really nice this year – we rode through tons of yellow and orange cottonwoods.  What a great ride!
I decided to take only Bo to this ride.  Chief had just done four days at the Grand Canyon XP he needed [...]

Grand Canyon Wrapup: Good Karma

It’s always good to get back home after a long ride.  Yet, it’s also kind of sad that it’s over already.  It seems like the multidays just fly by sometimes and this one was no exception.  I always like riding at the Grand Canyon even in the years when the weather doesn’t cooperate.  This year [...]

Ghosts at the finish of Virginia City 100 endurance ride

Had to share this video of the cemetery in Virginia City.  Turns out some at the finish line of the VC 100 this weekend saw a ghost…or ghosts.  Actually, I think it was the same ghost they saw more than once.  I’ll try to post more on this later, if I’m allowed <g>.  Anyway, enjoy [...]

Couple of fun horse videos

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 [...]

EHSC 50 Video. Photos coming soon!

Update on the horses and a chainsaw massacre (sort of….)

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 [...]

Great film about Nevadans – Living in the Big Empty

Some of you guys here will really enjoy this.  it’s really good.  We saw a few films at the Reno Film Festival that were a lot of fun and this was one of them!
Click here: Living in the Big Empty.  You can watch it at that link in hi or low res.
This film in particular, [...]

A pretty traumatic day, poor scared Chief!

Today I had one of the most scariest moments with one of my own horses that I have ever had.  Not because something bad happened but because it almost did.
I was giving Chief a bath on the wash rack cross ties.  It’s a concrete base with two wooden posts which are the big round ones [...]

Hoof Physiology Video – Hoof Expansion

This is great for showing how the hoof expands upon weight bearing. There are more videos on this topic on YouTube that you can check out. Too bad they haven’t done one on the benefits of NOT shoeing in this particular series.  Still, it’s good to see hoof mechanism like this.
In the photo [...]
