How the vending machine won

I think rider fitness and wellness is well suited to any horsey blog, and especially endurance ones. There is no denying that rides go better when the rider is in shape and riding to the best of their ability. The lack of flexibility, strength, cardio all affect our mounts and their ability to be “fit […] more
New thing #2
| March 22, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Obviously I am a weak person because I’m posting my new thing #2 in the same day as my new thing #1. *sigh*. Absolutely no self control. Secretly I’m worried that new thing #1 isn’t actually that interesting, only entertaining for me. New Thing #2 I took a centered riding lesson! I had […] more
