Hi, I am Kathy Newberg from Walton, Nebraska (small town by Lincoln). I love, love to ride horses. I had one as a little girl, then not again till my 40's. My passion is trail riding and riding new places. My husband, Rich and I travel each year to different states with our horses for vacations. We have met some awesome friends and seen some spectacular places all from the back of our horses. I have 2 horses, Moon, my old 27 year old quarter horse, whom I still ride and Zuni my spotted Foxtrotter who is one of the smoothest horses I have ever seen.
I am very involved with horse trails and creating and maintaining trails we have. I am currently Chairman of the Nebraska Horse Trail Committee. Our little group has accomplished some very good things for trail riders, including adding a new trail and adding a equestrian campground with a partnership of Nebraska Game and Parks!!!. I also organize Cowgirl Weekend which is a bunch of 20-25 woman who go camping and trail riding for a week each year, talk about FUN.
I love nothing more then crawling in the saddle and spending an afternoon with my husband or friends riding. I will not win this competition but sure will have fun logging all those miles.
Hope to see you on the trail. Kathy

Test
This is a test to see if I finally got the hang of this. Had to work today so no horse time. Hope to get some hours in later this week, hope the weather holds.
What a absolutely beautiful day. Rode Zuni 6.55 miles. Saw pheasant, deer and a hawk flying over us. Hank my chocolate lab went with us and ran the whole way, if I didn't have him I would have ridden alittle longer, just didn't want to wear him out. He hasn't hardly moved since we got home. LOL
Went out with plans to ride 8-10 miles today in the fields we usually ride in. As I was saddling I heard so much shooting aroound me decided to stay close at home. Rode 4.62 miles. Wind died down and ended up being a beautiful ride.
You asked for the teams thoughts on ground driving counting toward mileage. My thoughts are ground driving would be equal to me saddling up my horse and leading him around. I do not think it should count until you are in the saddle or until you are hooked up and driving a cart or wagon or sled, this is just my thoughts.
Tammy I don't think my first ride of the year was added to my big total miles. I rode Moon 1/5/12 approx 3 1/2 miles. I don't have that email and was hoping you had kept track of it. Thanks for doing all of this.
Rode 3.05 miles today. It was 48 degrees but very windy and very slick footing in several places. I had planned on a much longer ride but had to stay near the trees to block the wind. Took my wonder dog Hank along, he is great for teaching Zuni not to spook at every little russle in the weeds. All in all is was a good ride.
Another beautiful day in January, I feel like we are cheating winter. Rode my old boy today, Moon, rode 4.11 miles. No great speed but a great ride.
Hey there. Hope the recovery from the knee surgery goes well for you. We should almost have another category on here for the gimpy. ;-)
I've been thinking about you, Kathy! Hope your rehab is going well so you can get back out there very soon.
