My children are grown, so now it’s time for me! I found out about the Distance Derby too late last year to sign up, but followed the site throughout the year. My husband and I have 8 Quarter Horses we ride and a couple of Haflingers that we use for driving. I enjoy trail riding and doing ground work with the horses.
My goal this year is to complete level 2 in my home study course and to ride more than the 350 miles that I logged last year.

Welcome! Caught that you had haflingers:) I have one too that I just am starting to learn to drive on:)
ReplyDeleteGot to love those Haflingers! Our Haflinger experience started about 10 years ago when our daughter brought home a mare that was named Blitz! Team Karbo
DeleteDid you see that is my team name too (Blitz).....lol. I picked my haflinger up from Joe Auten in Paola, KS just a few months ago and am loving him to pieces!
DeleteMy miles ridden should be entered as 1.18 instead of typo 1.8 Thanks for all you do!
ReplyDeleteCorrection made, thanks!

Hey, you are way too far ahead of me! ;-) Hoping to get my boot off Friday. It's been so muddy and rainy (can't get my boot wet) that I lost a day or so. (Team8 Three little birds)
ReplyDeleteDinky is definately waiting for me to harness him up again! I have spring fever badly! 49* in Omaha today. Have you put any driving miles in yet?

As hubby and I were getting ready for church, we got a call to help the local vet catch a cow that had gotted away. After she was roped and in the trailer I took the opportunity to ride hubby's horse back home. It was a beautiful peaceful morning - I guess I attended Cowboy Church today!

Today is my birthday so I took a ride to my favorite place - the creek. On my way there, I virtually reached my 500 mile goal with my best friend, Team Blitz. While she was driving her haflinger, Dinky, in Iowa, I was riding my favorite quarter horse, Mindy, in Kansas. She has been cheering me on the whole way. When ready to return home, I found a birthday balloon down by the creek!
What an awesome Birthday! Congrats on getting 500 miles :-)
ReplyDeleteHad a great virtual ride/drive with you Karen on that day! Yes, and that birthday balloon by the creek said "Feliz Cumpleanos" which is happy birthday in Spanish. I sent that over from Iowa and glad it arrived there on your special day;) So very proud I crossed over the 400 and 500 mile mark with you and Mindy!
