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 [...]

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 [...]

We really did have a wonderful time in California last week and toped [...]

We had such a great time at Polestar Farm! I drove up to our friend Meika’s amazing faculity last week and met my mother for a full day of fun on her cross country course and in her beautiful barns. Wesley is still in his “challenging” phase and it was great to have another eye [...]
