Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
One is a permanent goodbye, and the other is just for a few days ... First, we're headed to the coast for a long weekend to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. On the one hand, it's hard to believe that we've been married for nearly three decades. Where does the time go? On the other hand, I feel like I've known my husband my entire life, and it's not that far from the truth. We met when I was just nineteen, and he was twenty-one. Most summers we take some big trip that I always feel is how we celebrate our anniversary, but my husband likes to take me somewhere on our actual anniversary when he can. So, I'll see you some time next week. The other goodbye is a permanent one, and I am hoping that by the time we get back next week, our little tacking up trailer will be history! It hasn't been used as a horse trailer for a very long time, but we have found someone who has a use for it. As for us, the ranch owner is having a covered hitching rail installed in the trailer's space. We've met with the welder and drawn up plans, and he's supposed to start tomorrow! We're not sure how long it's going to take, but I am hopeful it is done within the week. I'll let you know how it's coming along next week. Enjoy your weekend!

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.
