Part 2 – Mount Diablo Part II (see picture note in part 1. Pictures in this post are from a Fresno Zoo trip! – more randomness) Minx started to fade early which is unusual for her. She was willing to let the horses in front of her go forward without her. Usually I don’t get […] more
Race from the Sun

Part 1 – Mount Diablo recapMinx and I did this ride in June. We had completed a 50 in March, April, and May, each successive one stronger and stronger. This was a sobering ride and a reminder not to take the distance lightly. This report was written on 6/22, the day after the ride. In […] more

It will be interesting to track every one’s progress throughout the year. Goals: (Pictured: Farley’s trot out at the final vet check of Death Valley) Sound horses all year – status: Minx […] more
