I am down to only 1 horse. Hobbie. I have had her since she was 3 and this year 2013 she is 16. We've had some scary times but mostly they've been good times. About anyone can ride Hobbie:) Lots of people have. She will be my last horse. Once something happens to her or I this is it. I'm hoping to have a few more nice riding years - I've got lots of places to go and see.. Hobbie is a full quarter horse but no papers. The dam had papers but owner of sire didn't register the stallion. Hope to see lots of you out on some of the rides I go on..
Happy Trails to you:)

I am having a shoulder surgery Dec 3 so don't know if I'll be able to ride much for about 3 months. Just what the doctor thought so I thought I had better let you know so you don't delete me before the end of this year. I'll try getting in another day or two before then.
ReplyDelete402.53 miles this year so far!!!! exceded my goad by more than a hundred:)
Deletecongrats on getting over 400 miles :-)
ReplyDeleteI won't delete you. Best for your surgery. Hope it goes well and you heal quickly and completely!
ReplyDeleteKnowing me I hope I can stay off my horse for the whole healing time. I get impatient and that is why winter is the best time to get this done if I'm going to do it.. 400 miles was very good for me. I usually manage about 300 only. I have a record at home that I kept track of a couple of years. This has been great fun watching everyone and starting to know some of the people who ride around here. Thank you:)
DeleteLast ride for the year for me. Surgery on shoulder on Tuesday. Great ride at Pierce Creek today with Violet, Sarah, and Cole. The weather was even nice for us:) Rode 6.86 miles. Wanted to go longer but it gets dark too fast.
ReplyDeleteMiles this year: 409.39
Hoping for the best for your surgery!!! Glad you got to ride on such a nice day. Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm home but the block hasn't worn off yet so I'm hoping the pain isn't extreme when it wears off.
DeleteI still can't ride for awhile but wondered if you would join me up for the DD2014? Thank you very much. Doctor said not before March but I'm betting I get on before that:).
ReplyDeleteIt was a great year:) I hope to make 300 miles this year:) I got over 409 in 2013 but I have to pass a couple months this year 2014.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see where I'm at when all is added up.
