December 11th Leaderboard Update

December 11th Leaderboard Update is here....yes it is late....no I have no excuse except it was  #%^&#*  cold and since I couldn't ride, I didn't update the leaderboard.  Whine, whine, whine!    It does look like the weather will get up to a balmy 30* for the next 2 or 3 days, so I will ride some.  Yay!!  Hope ya'll get some riding in also before the year ends :-)  

End of November Leaderboard

Here is the Leaderboard for the end of November.  Lots of great riding done this Thanksgiving weekend!  We were blessed with wonderful weather here in Nebraska!  I waited until today to post it so as many people as possible could get their November miles recorded.  

Black Friday Ride or "Ride or Shop" No Brainer

Thanksgiving was great and all, but Friday was awesome!  Black Friday the day when some people get crazy with shopping and spending money, but others would rather spend time with their horses and friends. The Third annual Black Friday ride at Branched Oak was a beautiful day with fluffy white clouds, almost no wind and temps in the high 50's!  Perfect.  We rode about 8 miles and when we got back to the trailers we had chili and cinnamon rolls.  Yummmmm.  I hope ya'll got a chance to spend time with your horses this Thanksgiving weekend, as we are all thankful we have our 4 legged friends and 2 legged friends. 

November 25th Leaderboard Update

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :-)  

November 18th Leaderboard Update

November 18th, only 6 weeks to go, so get out there and ride :-)  This past weekend was beautiful with great weather here, but I didn't ride at all.  Nope, instead I went to the Nebraska Horse Expo and had a great time and learned that I sure don't know much about riding.  So my solution.....go out and ride more!  

Seriously though, I have a lot to learn to communicate with my horse correctly.  How about you?

November 11th Leaderboard Update

Here we are down to about 7 weeks left of riding and it is getting colder and less opportunities to ride.  How close are you to your 2013 Derby goal?  I have met and exceeded my goal this year.  I have almost ridden twice as far this year over my best year in Iowa.  I am a very happy rider :-)  We all still have time to get closer to our goals but with the weather you need to be more dedicated or crazy.  You decide which one YOU are :-).   

November 5th Leaderboard Update

Here is the Leaderboard update for the 1st week of November.  Remember, remember the 5th of November.......(name that movie).  Heading into the cold months of the year, sure hope we still get some good riding days before the year is done.  Dress warm and keep riding :-)  Congrats to Team 22 who leads the way with 1500 miles.

End of October Leaderboard

Here it is the end of October with only 2 months left to go for this years Derby.  Don't stop riding how everyone just bundle up and keep warm :-)  Congrats to Team 22 with 1500 miles :-)

It's starting to get cold, so bundle up and keep riding :-)  

October 7 Leaderboard Update

Here we are at the final quarter of the year.  Three more months of 2013.  My favorite time to ride.  I noticed the trees are starting to change colors and loose their leaves.  I'm hoping for a long, mild autumn.    Heard a great joke....Autumn is the only time that fall and riding should be in the same sentence :-)  Loved this!  Happy fall riding everyone :-)
