Tried Something New

Stylin and I doing our first CRI

Some friends, my daughter and I went to a distance riding clinic in September put on by Florida Horsemen's Association. We learned from everybody there and did a 10 mile mock CTR, then did a 17 mile ride the next day. What a lot of fun and everyone was so helpful! Don't think I want to do 50 or 100 miles, but I'm thinking about doing a limited distance of 25 miles. Something new for Stylin and me to do.

Beautiful trail through the woods


Our riding/camping season is here....temperatures are down and everyone is ready to ride! We started our camping season off with a 4 day weekend at River Rise Preserve in High Springs, FL. They have a wonderful set up and nicely marked trails. Next weekend away is scheduled for Dec 5th at 7BarL Ranch in Live Oak, FL.

Maxx

We recently got a new dog.... a cute little Papillon named Maxx. His former owner is elderly and broke her hip and couldn't keep him anymore. He's fit in real well with our other dogs but we're having to introduce him slowly to the cats and horses.

  2. Oooh! You're back! I was just scanning my blog reader and saw this post. Yay!
    I love papillons! My first dog as an adult was a pappilon/pomeranian mix. Such smart, loyal affectionate dogs. So much fun, too.

    Sounds like you've been busy enjoying the beautiful Fall weather and the trails.
