Team 80 - The A Team
My name is Mike Anderson. I live in rural Washington County south of Blair Nebraska. I enjoy trail riding in Nebraska and surrounding states. I have a herd of five horses. My main horses are Sweetie (Impressive Sweetheart) who is a black and white paint with solid quarter horse breeding, she is a rock solid horse and a pleasure to ride. The other one I ride a lot is Badger (Badgers Dun) a gelding who is on his way to becoming my horse of the future.
I spend many hours throughout the year on horse trails both on a horse and on foot, working on trails. I have around ten miles of trails “out my back door” both on my property as well as on neighboring land. I do enjoy being outdoors! For the past decade I have traveled to the mountain states for horse vacations. I have spent most of my time in Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains in the Cloud Peak Wilderness area. My son, David and a friend of mine, Mike Ladd and I have done numerous pack trips throughout the Cloud Peak Wilderness. I am looking forward to adding up the miles next year in the Distance Derby. I hope to see you on the trail!

Love your profile photo! Where was it taken? Access to "room to ride" out your door is such a great gift... Lucky you! Good luck this year!

I rented two horses to ride the beach here in Mazatlan. I paid 480 Pesos ($40) for two horses for a one hour rental fee. Debra Ahrens who has been comming here many years but has never rode here decided to give it a try. I ask the amigos to give her a calm horse and boy did they! No Gallup, no lope, and yes no trotting. Just a nice steady walk. We rode north on the beach about 3/4 of a mile with our mexican cowboys walking a good distance behind us. Once they saw that the horses were in safe hands they turned around and walked back to thr area we were staying at. We then rode southpast our resort, The Inn At Mazatlan about 1/2 mile. About half 1/4 mile south is the "gate" where the public has beach access. My horse decided to balk and he wanted to gi home, so ithey act the same no matter where you are in the world. Anyway it was a good time and I did manage to get deep enough to get my boots wet.
Odious amigos!
Sounds wonderful to ride the beach! Glad you had a great time! Brenda
