That’s Farley, giving her best sad face at being ignored most of August. A big fat ZERO for everything. Well, technically there was one ride. But it was a 1 1/2 mile ride that lasted an hour because it involved dismounting and beating my pony with a stick lunging her around me with the reins […] more

At the beginning of every month we discuss what happened in the previous month – miles ran, hours ridden, events finished.
