My name is Janet Caul from Blair, Nebraska. I am a riding instructor specializing in beginners and those with fear issues. I have been an instructor/trainer for over 30 years working under the name Cross C Equine Services.
I currently own two horses; Rocky and Daijon, however, my main ride for the Derby will be my new steed Rocky, but I do have 2 other reliable mounts with Daijon and my former lesson horse, Prince.
I broke my back about three years ago so this Derby will be the true test of healing, not only mind, but the body, too. I look forward to putting on some serous miles as I haven’t been able to do much trail riding over the last few years. It is on 2013 so I can check some things off my bucket list!

we rode alone in between lessons; temp was 22; bitter cold in the barn. We did a lot of stopping/talking hence the l-o-n-g time. I'm inching my way along! I will celebrate when I make 1 mile :-)
Not far to go now :-) You go girl!
ReplyDeleteI think I will hit the mile mark with the temps being warmer this week!!
ReplyDeleteJanet - so glad you are back in the saddle and doing some horse things for YOU! Will be fun sharing Derby miles with you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to se you on here Janet, maybe we can get some miles in together! You'll get it back, will be fun seeing your 'full recovery' you'll find chasing miles. :-D
