Too Much Information?

3/9/2011

I just realized that my posts are probably too long, too frequent, and have too much information. Sorry! I just have so much to say. I am sure your're thinking, Couldn't you say it just a bit faster since I have to get to work?

I actually have quite a few posts waiting in line to publish, but I'll hold off for a day or two and let you take a breather.

I follow two other blogs, Boots and Saddles and Behind the Bit, and if they get too long I just skim through the interesting parts and ignore the rest. Feel free to skim and ignore.

To keep this short as promised, here's a little update: still very excited about the show next week and Speedy gets to go to the vet today for his regular spring visit. We LOVE seeing our vet.

More info about both later. Enjoy your day!

By the way, the most recent Boots and Saddles post is pretty funny!

About the
Writer & Rider

I 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.
