Team 124 - Newtson


  I am a soon to be retired school teacher from central Nebraska, whose greatest passion is riding. Trail riding to be exact.  My husband and I and our good friends spend alot of quality time traveling to different places, (in state and out state) to ride new and old favorite trails. 

Of course I must also introduce my riding partner, Hoo Ha. He is a 12 year old gelding of unknown parentage. I have owned him since he was a fuzzy 4 month old orphan. We have put in alot of miles together.  We have several other horses on our farm, but Hoo Ha is my favorite. He has quite the personality.  

We also have two Corgies and a terrier cross mutt who love to tag along on home rides.  They don't get to travel with us, because they know their job is to stay home and act as guard dogs when we are away. That I say with tongue in cheek, but they sure think that is their job.

    Beautiful ride, with all the fall colors. Nice day too. Not a large group. 40 riders. Delicious meal after. Camped over Friday and Sat. nights. Camping days are getting fewer. Grandson Clancy came with. He rode Buster. Got in some quick sand with him. Kept his cool and got right out. Couple others went down too.

    Couldn't resist riding again today...It's just to beautiful. Corgi's were tired, so they stayed home. Not Grover...He's always game for an adventure.

    Cold and windy, but rode anyway. My vacation is soon coming to an end and I will kick the horses back to winter pasture, so making the most of riding time. Or maybe I'm just obsessed with riding. Have been since I was a small child. Hello to Troy's wife...I remember meeting you at Mike's wedding. What is your team #?

    Another cold windy day, but put on the long johns and took a shorter ride. Little dog Grover still hangs in there with me. He just bounces from ditch to ditch and bush to bush.

    Great day to end the year riding. Quite a pleasant day. Warm and slightly breezy.
    15.61 total miles today. Was hoping to make 560, but it was dark and coyotes howling close. They always send chills down my spine. Especially when there's pups.
