Team 15: Purple




We are Bling, TAZ & Sky(hopefully soon)  & me~ Christine

Originally from California, I grew up doing a lot of beauty pageants. My mother had high hopes that it might take me far in life & maybe I would eventually have a nice career in entertainment or something.... My Aunt had ponys/horses at her place in the country & that was where my heart was!! I couldn't wait for the weekend or a holiday vacation  when my Aunt would watch me & my brother, it meant I could spend time around the horses!! All I ever wanted was a family of my own & HORSES!!

I'm a 'stay at home' empty nester & have had my own mini herd of horses & a mule for 12 years now. Get's a little lonely out here, but I can always ride! Any reason to ride is a good one!! :)

Dabbled in a bit of everything from mule/horse shows, driving, fox hunting & long distance/endurance ridin

50's starting out, 70 when I arrived back. Now THIS is riding weather!! A lot easier on me, that's for sure! So you're probably thinking why does it take me SO LONG to do 17 & a half miles? TAZ & I like to call it 'free groceries' riding. We just go a nice leisurely pace & TAZ get's to do A LOT of stopping & eating!!! She LOVES it & she truly deserves these kind of days.

Lost train... Well, not really 'lost'. Derailed?? TAZ & I went on a lil adventure & went exploring around some woods. Rode up up up a steep hill & decided it probably would not be safe to ride back down. Walked a lil ways & could not find another way down. I panicked and called Danny to come get me down off this hill!! We walked to the other end & there was a safe route down & out. WHEW!
It was fun to see how excited he was to come to my rescue. Even rode TAZ for a few minutes. I didn't think I'd get my mule back!!
He says he wants to ride more & his own horse... :) THANKS Distance Derby!

Tuesday evening ride with the group at Pierce Creek. Beautiful night as always. Cute seeing a mother duck & her ducklings swim across the lake. Have to say I love, LOVE those Mustangs on the ride! Rode up on a 'couple' who later expressed their unhappiness about us riding up on them. They shot off their pistol for about 10 minutes, but all the horses handles it like champs!! I love riding at Pierce Creek!

Truly - I have an optical migraine right now and my total is right but for some reason I keep looking at the wrong screen and typing. (Calculator plus a split computer screen.

Total after Poker Run should be 856.10 and that's my final answer.... (I think)

Set the alarm to get up at 4:am... Made some coffee & sat there & TRIED to wake up so I could get out there & ride some before it warmed up. Well, I just wasn't feelin it & went back to bed. By the time I got back up & finished all the chores, it was already starting to warm back up. Lot was in full shade, so I decided I would just ride TAZ around in the lot. She could use some fine tuning any way.... Let me tell you, I remember arena work being pretty boring & it was!! An hour was about all I could stand!! Well maybe I'll get to go ride with the ladies at Pierce Creek this evening. Now that will be some NICE riding!!

Nice slow ride. Sure glad there was a breeze!!85 now & I was just starting to get warm, so that's pretty good for me! Wore my jeans. I did't have as much of the heat rash as usual, but some. TAZ & I ALMOST walked right onto a sleeping doe that had just given birth to twins!! (ofcourse I didn't bring my camera today....) Scared doe & she ran off a lil ways. One fawn was standing (still wobbly) & the other was just trying to figure out how to stand up, I guess. Felt bad to have disturbed them, but glad I didn't STEP on them!! So many nice Summer time flowers starting to bloom out there, but just barely. We really need some rain!

Started around 7AM... NEED to start earlier!! Nice, 70's & nice breeze. TAZ & I having a good time exploring new territory & ended up out toward Pauline's. So I called her & we met up & rode together for a lil over an hour. Then the ride back home. Was getting warm, but not bad with the breeze. When I came back inside I was surprised to see the temp at 93 degrees!! A new heat record for me!! Heat rash is worse, but worth was totally worth it.

YES... I rode Brooklyn AGAIN... Met Juanita & Ray at Pierce Creek & brought Brooklyn because I have been so excited about her & wanted Juanita to see her. Good first ride with both Juanita & Ray. Ray is getting stronger & looking so much better & even getting his sense of humor back. Juanita & I went out for another loop, as she wanted me to show her where this 'attack jack' was. We went all the way out there, & NO JACK! But Juanita's zipper fairies were out there for sure!! Lost my camera AGAIN!! Grrrrrr!! So we back tracked & luckily found the dern thing AGAIN. It was getting pretty hot by then, but Juanita & I were laughing so hard & having such a good time we hardly noticed. Margaritas & Coronas never tasted SOOOOO GOOD after a ride like today's! Thank you Juanita & Ray for coming out!!

Early morning message from Pauline to come out & ride. Beautiful morning, no breeze, so it felt really warm!! Brooklyn was NOT happy with the idea of being in the lot & didn't want to be caught, but we worked it out & she was totally fine once saddled up. She's gonna test me, it's natural... Still LOVE this mare! Pheasant flew up & startled both Leroy & Brooklyn, but we managed to stay on!! Boy I could use a nap!

Juanita is up at Turkey Creek this weekend... So... :)

Another lovely Tuesday evening ride at Pierce Creek. 9 riders. Weather co operated & was almost perfect!! Renee's first time joining the group, on her new Tenneesee Walker horse. Terry's horse bucked him off HARD, hoping he's going to be okay. :(

Don't be fooled by these 3 miles! There ARE some challenging hills up there at Turkey Creek!! A lot of work for the equines, especially when it's been so hot! Still, a very lovely evening ride & lots of wildlife. Thank you Sherry Stone for being my trail guide!!

Saturday at Turkey Creek Ranch~ Morning ride out to the pond & around with Sherry & Colton. Warmed up pretty fast! For the evening ride & joined up with Sue Maiwald & Mary as they rode around mapping out miles for an upcoming CTR ride at the end of September. Those two gals & their horses can really move out! Both rides were GREAT!!

One more morning ride at Turkey Creek Ranch~ with Sue & Mary. I tagged along as they rode around mapping out their CTR ride. Warmed up way too fast & was sad to have to pack up & head home. Looking forward to some cooler weather & will surely be back to explore remaining trails another time... Thank you Brenda & John for having such a wonderful ranch open for us to ride!!

TAZ is never excited about taking the 'let's ride into Missouri' route. She starts out SOOOO pokey.... Troy met us out there, but couldn't follow us very far, as he was driving a rental car & I was riding some muddy dirt roads. Well, when he turned around to leave- TAZzy decided to be a bit pissy. She really woke up for the rest of the ride!! We took a different, very nice, route. I love the roads down Missouri's way! A LOT of dirt roads, or if they turn into gravel, there is almost always a nice wide, mowed path of grass along side on which to ride. TAZzy's speed had picked up & that was a good thing, it was starting to warm up fast!! I love getting that lil mule lost! If it wasn't going to get up to 98 degrees, we would have wondered around a lot longer!

Hopefully will have some good quality rides on Brooklyn over the holiday weekend. Everybody have a good one! Be safe!!

Evening came & it cooled of a bit. Set out in hopes to watch the sun go down & the Blue Moon come up. Sunset was totally worth seeing! ...No such luck seeing the moon, too cloudy. Bling was a total SPAZ during the first half of this evening's ride. Probably 'my bad'. I had given her a lil extra Ultium/grain mixture to try & help her not loose any weight/condition. She was high as a kite!! Everything was out to get her tonight!! First it was a pile of grass, then it was the windmill with vine growing up it. Took several minutes for her to calm down so that we could move on. Arrived back into town at dark. I was glad to have stuck it out & finish the ride. Welp, one more thing just HAD to scare poor Bling. Someone had run over a 'sn-k-' (rhymes with cake) on the corner where I turn to go up our drive. Was hoping Bling didn't see it, as it was dark, but no such luck or she could smell it?? That was the last straw for her!! 1000 feet to the house I had a hopping/ jumping/ want run home crazy horse! But we made it!! WHEW! And all I wanted to do was see the moon......

Stopped every now & then to let TAZ munch on some dewy grass. Chased a badger (GOOD TIMES!)& saw another coyote & several deer. Storms expected tonight, so we'll have to wait & see if I go back out this evening....

Haven't rode past couple days, just too darn hot & humid!! & discovered that Sky has a bad case of rain scald, so I've been picking off thousands of scabs & giving baths...

I had planned to ride Brooklyn, but she had slipped while crossing over the wet bridge & was a little gimpy. (She was walking jut fine when we got back!)

Brooklyn's first ride AWAY from home. Short, but ahhh so sweet!! Brooklyn has tensed up on me before when I've tried to ride off on her without any buddies along. I stayed relaxed & focused on my goal & did not get frustrated with her. Just kept encouraging her on, petting her & talking to her. She did a lot of that blowing ' clearing herself of all her stress' after we were a lil way from home, she settled right down. She's always been fearless & I've learned that she's too lazy to expend too much energy to fight with me... 2 miles, I'd call that SUCCESS!!

Gorgeous day! And I mean absolutely beautiful!! No wind at all & temps between 25-29 degrees. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE & ADORE Ms Brooklyn?? She is rock solid, nothing bothers her. Pheasant can fly out of no where & she doesn't even blink! Only had about 2" of snow, so navigating around the fields wasn't difficult for her at all! Had a bald eagle fly past us while we rode along the river. He landed in a tree I've seen him in a couple of times before. Thought for sure he'd fly away, but he didn't. He must be getting used to seeing us... Life is good! :)

Good ride, TAZ behaved herself for the most part. Scared up the usual deer & a coyote. Even rode up on a opossum. Are they usually out this time of year? Decent ride temp wise, just a slight breeze. Really felt it riding into the N. Burrr!!

The only place to ride where the trees actually helped shield us from the wind! Everything was frozen hard & it snowed heavily for about a 1/2 hour. Wind was worse heading back... Called it a day! WHEW!!

Round two. Still decent & most importantly, no wind!! Used Wintec saddle on Brooklyn & she seemed to like it. Wasn't planing on being out for 3 hours...

Beautiful morning & probably should have started earlier! But I was going by what the news report on the weather & it sounded COLD! A quick loop around, rode up on a hunter.... YIKES! Gave him my huge apology & headed home to get my orange vest & use the ladies room. TAZ was up in lot, so grabbed her for loop 2.

12/29/12 TAZ 11.02 miles http://connect.garmin.com/activity/255562421

Temp was perfect (well, I thought so any way!) No breeze & never had trouble staying warm. Scared up lots of deer & a couple huge buck. Lots of turkey tracks in the snow... My loop didn't go where I had planned, so was out a lil longer... Good ride tho!

WOW! Okay so I have to ask (but please don't answer) ... did you have to use the ladies' because of the hunter? or because of the cold? LOL

I felt light headed when I saw your total miles. Oh wait, part of it might be because I have the flu and couldn't go out and ride. ugh

Heading to see if Juanita has posted. Cheering both of you on ... and everyone else who has the fortitude to ride outside, or who has an indoor arena to ride in.

What an awesome year!

No wind... YAY!! 24 degrees & NO WIND feels so much nicer than 40+ degrees & 20+ mph wind! Promised Brooklyn only a short ride today. Had to get a few more miles in... ;)
