Nov IRL 2015

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.  It’s that time again. I’m not posting as much on a day-to-day basis, so these monthly summary posts provide a look at actual training and conditioning that occurs prior to my endurance races as a counter to what I believe is often unrealistic and rigid training “plans” on the […] more

Happy partners day

Happy partners day Farley! I’m sorry I won’t be out today to take our annual selfie since I am flat on my back on the couch recovering from the lumbar puncture and dictating this into an iPad. But we did get to go riding last night and it was lovely at least for me. I’m […] more

A look at the numbers: Older endurance horses

I’ve been in poccession of this data for approximately 4 weeks. Fig […] more

Saddles, Riders, and Science

For more information The conference was organized by the Saddle Research […] more

November Link Luv

I’m behind on my blog reading because a bunch of e-library books that I requested all came through at the same time and I’m desperately trying to read them before they expire, but I still managed to read enough online content to put together a decent I-should-be-working-but-instead-let’s-waste-time-on-the-internet distraction. Enjoy! Nice to know I’m not the […] more
