Hiatus

Unfortunately, I am back in North Carolina for a while. My husband is leaving to go back to Iraq for another deployment, and I must be here for him when he leaves. No doubt I'd love to have my horses here as well, but my husband comes first and foremost so they are in California.

I will be back in California sometime in April, hopefully the beginning. But leaning more towards the middle of April. And then I will have plenty of time to torture the ponies with more trail riding adventures.

Until then, I have to rely on my grandmother and Kim to keep me updated on the well-being of my horses. But this will be a well deserved break for them [Kandee at least, Porscha is the least traumatized as she was only ridden on the trail twice by me] and they should be refreshed and ready to go by the time I get back.

I wanted to do a chart on all my rides on Kandee, just to show how much I have ridden her. Keep in mind she was broke on the 26th of January, 2008. And this is what I have so far:

Total Hours Ridden: 29.5

2/25/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Alpine, CA	trail	2.8 hrs
2/23/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Alpine, CA	Trail	3.0 hrs
2/17/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Alpine, CA	trail	4.3 hrs

2/7/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Alpine, CA	Trail	2.0 hrs
2/2/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Sloan Canyon back up to Alpine	Trail	4.5 hrs
1/26/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Alpine, CA	Trail Riding	4.0 hrs
1/25/08	KENOS COTTON CANDY	IAHA	349620	Alpine, CA	Trail Riding	1.0 hrs

And you want to know my MILEAGE? This is the kicker, right here, that shows you how much I ride my horses:

67.17 Miles since January 25th

Not too bad. *grin* And I do believe there was one ride I don't have in there, because I forgot to take my GPS with me, but it was probably about 5 miles.

And that was a good starting point for her. Some will argue and say I ride her too much, but she doesn't seem to mind. She walks right up to my in the pasture, she'll nicker at me - if she wasn't happy, she'd let me know.

Until April, my friends.
