I'd like to wish Speedy G a very happy (belated) birthday. Speedy turned 13 on Saturday! I love that he's turned out to be such a good boy, but hitting his teen years also means that he's no longer on the young horse side of things. While maybe not quite middle-aged yet, he's getting closer to the top of that hill. So in tribute, here's a photo from each year that I've had him. Three Years Old  December 2007. Four Years Old  Camping at the Carizzo Plains Five Years Old  Camping at Montana de Oro Six Years Old  Git R Done II 55 Mile Endurance Ride Seven Years Old  Tehachapi Mountain Dressage Show, Introductory Level Eight Years Old  RAAC - Intro Level Test C Nine Years Old  Another RAAC - hanging out with my mom Ten Years Old  Tehachapi Mountain Dressage Show - Training Level Eleven Years Old  Lessons with Chemaine Hurtado Twelve Years Old  GEAHS Spring Show - First Level (photo by Gordon Walter) Speedy G has been such a great guy to get to know and hang out with. I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with him.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
