Hi! My name is Jean and my team mate is Jango. He came into my life 4 years ago as a way to find happiness and peace after struggling with my mother's cancer and death. He is a true medicine horse. We ride whenever we can here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Jean & Jango
ReplyDeleteWe are in the Derby 2013!
Welcome, Jean! I hope to ride in the Portland area in 2014 (probably April). The Dalmatian Club of America will have a field trial there, & they are currently looking for a location & rental horses. Maybe we will meet then!

Welcome Jean! Sorry to hear about your mom - horses really are the best therapists out there! Love Jango's coloring, btw.
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie-
DeleteThanks for the kind words. Yes- I have a soft spot for greys!
Sure hope I'm entering the miles right. Am now including distance riding a second horse. Still not a lot of mileage...after all it is January.

Well,8 weeks until my first planned endurance ride. Time to step it up. Plus Jango is way overweight. I could stand to lose 5 or 10 lbs. myself. Diet & exercise plan is in the works.We start today!

Life has been pretty busy. I keep riding but it's all little short spurts. Still haven't had 1 full day to just haul out to the hills. oh well-I do enjoy my after work outings and the weather is gorgeous. This week spotted: deer,coyote,osprey and heron. Got a new pair of riding pants-Kerrits bootcut with a long leg patch...I really like em.

ReplyDeleteI will give the miles for this past week because I was playing catch up. But I am totally bummed- I LOST MY GPS!! I can't do the derby without it and I'm not ready to lay down another $100 for a new one at the moment. I don't own a smartphone. Anyone have a great cheap option for counting miles??

Sorry about your gps. Look on Craig's list forvavused one. Or eBay. Might want to ask Diane to post on DD site that you are looking for one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy...all good ideas.
DeleteMy smart phone isn't so smart. Should say "for a used one."
ReplyDeleteBeen riding almost every day...no GPS to track the miles but...another rider participating in the Distance Derby kindly answered my plea for help and I am now awaiting a package to arrive containing my new (to me) GPS. Thank you Marcia!
ReplyDeleteBack to counting mileage!

Hi-
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the leaderboard and I noticed my total is from my June 15th entry. Looks like my mileage from last week didn't get tallied in and there is this weeks new total. Hope those miles make it in!
Thanks.
I have all your miles logged. You probably posted your miles after I posted the leaderboard.
ReplyDeleteokay thank you I am also in a different time zone than alot of you folks- I'm Pacific Time and I tend to post late on Sunday night.
