To plan or not to plan….part 1

Sometimes not having a plan goes well. Other times, after a fruitless 4 hours of driving I try to convince myself that indeed, driving around in the heat of the day with the horse in the trailer was much better than sitting in my chair knitting socks. Uh huh…. Part 1 – Saturday (the day […] more

Guest Blog – Of Horses and Dust

My sister “redgirl” has graciously written a post about her experience at the Tevis. This being the “non-horsey” sister, I found it rather entertaining. (OK – I admit it, I snorted coffee up my nose as I read this). Redgirl’s story: Listen all ye, and listen well I tell of two, a precarious ride Take […] more

Gettin’ Away Part II

After the adventure with Erin went so very well, last weekend I tried it again! I’ve day-hiked the Ohlone trail and ridden Farley on it in the past. In fact, I consider it part of my essential Tevis training because of it’s extremely challenging elevation changes in the first 5 miles. I figured it would […] more
