Karen and I had a great time with friends (thanks to Janelle and Heather’s help) and nice horses at Three Day Ranch last week. Our horses put in great dressage and show jumping while a little slow on the cross country. We are now looking ahead to all the fun stuff on the calendar. [...]

March Madness
March 16, 2011 – 10:19 am
Greetings from the sun! We are in the midst of March madness. Someone is flying in or out practically every day in March and we are loving the activity. We have 6 horses, lessons, friends and family all month. We are busy training (for something all the time it seems) or cooking, running or just [...]
Getting settled…sort of…finally?
February 12, 2011 – 9:54 am
Greetings from Wasatch in the Sun. We have been here for 2 full weeks and finally feel like we may be in full swing. With 4 horses clipped, pulled, shod, bathed and 2 more in full work, all 6 are looking good. Yesterday, mum and I took a few to Bellisima Ranch in Cave Creek [...]
Wasatch in the Sun January 31, 2011
January 31, 2011 – 10:08 am
Wasatch Sport Horse’s is on tour! We are now, for the most part, settled in Wickenburg, Arizona; a small western town 60 miles NW of Phoenix. The horses are still getting used to the change in landscape, trains (goes right by the barn and arena multiple times a day,) rabbits, pigs, and cows! Josh is [...]
Happy New Year
January 6, 2011 – 6:35 pm
Greetings from the winter wonderland. 3′ of new snow just after Christmas followed by a week of -20 to 5 degree weather McCall is not a great place to try and ride horses full time in the winter <shocking!> The last few days have warmed up into the 20′s and I have regained my sanity. [...]
USEA Annual Meeting
December 15, 2010 – 10:03 pm
I did not come back with a tan, even though the weather was all sun and warm. I did not come home with any Christmas gifts, even though the convention center was adjacent to a great shopping area. I did not come home with sore muscles, even though I am “training” for a mountain marathon [...]
Looking forward to 2011

Happy December! Now that we are in the home stretch for 2010 we are looking forward to a fun filled 2011! This week several of us got together to toast a fantastic year of horses and friends; old and new. It was wonderful to have so many like minded souls stuffed into our little [...]
November 30
November 30, 2010 – 7:37 pm
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Josh and I had a wonderful time in Utah with friends. The weather was a little dicey getting back and forth so I flew. After all the hours in the truck this fall, it felt great to fly! Unfortunately the temps were too low to do much when [...]
Why people live in California
November 10, 2010 – 9:04 pm
It is either the wine, (we spent two afternooons in the tasting rooms of Los Olivos and Sante Ynes,) the weather (sunshine, sunshine and partly cloudy for x-country,) the people (Wendy Wergeles helped me for hours!) or the footing (no studs here). We really did have a wonderful time in California last week and toped [...]
Woodside
October 18, 2010 – 11:17 am
Greetings from McCall. We are enjoying fall at home and on the road. Last week Shelley, Shawna and I did an all night treck to Woodside, California for the fall event there. The weather was perfect, the horses pretty darn close and the food and friends were great fun! I rode Wesley to a win [...]
