6.12 miles
200.2 miles YTD
YAY!! THAN...12-30-2012<br />6.12 miles<br />200.2 miles YTD<br /><br />YAY!! THANK YOU Diane, Carrie and my daughter Jayda for riding with me to cross the 200 mile mark! And, of course, thanks to my husband who took the 2 yr old to get our walmart stuff so I could go, and drove the trailer and tacked/untacked horses. 40* here in NE at the end of December is a very good day to ride and glad I could with such good company and horses. We spooked up a few deer and my husband's 24 yr old mare, Jayda's partner, went UNDER a bridge for te first time in her life... plus it was her rider's first time too. What a good ride to conclude my 200 mile drive (being I was on Clue too!). We'll see what weather's like tomorrow. :-)<br /><br />http://connect.garmin.com/activity/256008227<br />Sun, Dec 30, 2012 1:34 PM <br />Distance: 6.12 mi <br />Time: 2:29:42 <br />Moving Time: 2:08:29 <br />Avg Moving Speed: 2.9 mph <br />Max Speed: 4.1 mph Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00391629149160982197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236973799754535295.post-26514003316185332612012-12-28T17:26:29.875-08:002012-12-28T17:26:29.875-08:00Jamie, when we were at Halsey this September my ga...Jamie, when we were at Halsey this September my garmin was always more than Brenda messicks.

He'd go nice and straight, carrying himself for a few strides, but then he's get worried and fall apart again and I'd have to pick up contact again and straighten him out - yes, Cherokee, your head and tail should be in a straight line down the road, no, Cherokee, the culverts/shadow/shrub do not need to be gawked at.... lolJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00391629149160982197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236973799754535295.post-48064398074749863322012-12-14T11:11:51.134-08:002012-12-14T11:11:51.134-08:00Been a long time since I rode babeback, and since ...Been a long time since I rode babeback, and since I need to pick up my daughter in about an hour, I didn't feel like saddling and un saddling - so I grabbed Cherokee (my blue horse of Blue's Clues) and intended a mile, but got .59 in.<br /><br />MTD: 186.21 Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00391629149160982197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236973799754535295.post-89355717551624405522012-12-13T15:27:51.645-08:002012-12-13T15:27:51.645-08:00Gorgeous 50 degree December day!!

So, today I went and did some ground work with my son's pony and caught Clue and tacked and mounted on my own. It took me longer than I'd hoped and Jayda was coming home on the bus shortly after I got on, so I convinced her to get Cherokee and ride bareback and we just played around in the field.

I pretty much quit riding when hunting started around here and the weather started getting colder, but that is not going to be the case for December. I may be near the bottom of the placings, but I can almost taste the 200 miles I'm so near! Got out today and found out that the pony just plain and simply doesn't want to pony. Don't know yet how I'm going to get her cooperating when being led from a horse, or get my shorter Cherokee, that she can't run under like she does Clue, to quit picking on her - which ended in her squaring off and rearing and striking. grrr.

We rode all the way around Bluestem Lake since the water table is so low. Little bit of a hair raising moment(s) when my 19 yr old Clue wigged out on Julie, my HS friend who hadn't ridden since, when we came accross a guy training his hunting dog in a nearby feild! Julie stayed on though and Clue didn't even look at the guy when we went back by him. Thought I was gonna die again near the end, lol - Mary's who took me on my last 5 mile ride.
