Desert Gold Day 1 2009 – another 55 miles under my belt and under Farley’s girth. I end the 2009 season with 475 miles.

I was very entertained at my lesson today. My instructor rode Farley. Let me revise that. My very tall instructor rode Farley. Who sticks at 14.2 ONLY because she has super high withers.
