The Bear Story
| May 20, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Loreleigh came through! My original plan was to co-post this piece with her, adding my comments along the way, however, after reading it, I decided my comments would only detract from the story. This story is particularly timely as I am leaving for Wild West tomorrow. It takes place the day after Wild West, at […] more
What type of rider are you?

I found a new blog today called “Confessions of a Struggling Dressage Rider”. Recently she posted “What type of rider are you?” Seriously – Aren’t all endurance riders over-analyzers? more

Product Reviews I’ve decided to start doing some product reviews here periodically. When I’m shopping for an item, I often search through the internet trying to find people that have experience with the product. I have found the endurance.net ridcamp archives very useful, as well as horsetackreview.com. Hopefully you’ll find my reviews helpful. If you […] more

As I whipped out my keyboard to give the standard advice – ride without stirrups and bareback, I must admit a not-so-small feeling of guilt rising up. When was the last time I rode bareback? stirrupless? was my […] more

Seven days until I leave for Wild West. At this point there is a slight chance of showers Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I really really really hope it doesn’t rain. I’m out of town this weekend and Monday afternoon-Wednesday evening next week for work – not a lot of time to prepare! Fortunately, since I […] more
Running Partners
| May 14, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Before there was Farley, there was Toby. Toby was my faithful running partner through school and the first part of college. He’s getting a bit gray, and up there in years. On Mother’s day, my sister and I decided to give him a little outing around Ellis Lake, a man-made lake in the middle of […] more
