The Squirel Factor is High.....

We decided to take advantage of the day, cool but no precip....I did my usual routine, tack up, rump rug...and so forth....Garry decided to join us on Hawk, that was great, because both would get some time. Well I never really gave the term "Froggy" much thought, until today when Buffy crow hopped most of the way around the pasture, the two of them demonstrated the theory known as "Potentiation", which simply means that what one does, the other does as well...Hawk is a quick little devil and likes to spin.  At the end of the pasture (of course) he went into the death spin and eventually lost his rider, who hopped up and promptly said "go get that #$%^ horse!" yea so I did, and boy was he in trouble, I always say, "if they want to do something, make them do it alot"....needless to say, it was a good time had by all, especially for the neighbors who commented "Thankyou for the rodeo !" (while handing me a plate of cookies!!!).....

Goals for 2013

As we suffer the cold, Buffy and I are contemplating our goals for 2013, but that is really hard to do with so many things up in the air....I have applied to the University of Arizona doctorate of nursing practice program in Tucson Arizona...I pray constantly that I get in...but I will not find out until March...If (when) I do get in, my plan is to relocate to Tucson, it will take a while to get rid of my junk, and make plans..Meanwhile there is a ride season to plan for...We were going to go for a 100 miler this year, but with the ride season so short here, it would mean that we have to miss several of our favorite rides...another cool thing about Arizona, you can ride year around!  woo, hoo!  So I guess that we will concentrate on increasing our multiday riding...Buffy has a new little sister, she came from Texas...She is young, only three.  They have the same granddaddy....the evolution of WMA Desert Deer will be the start of a new blog...be sure to follow along! It should be a beautiful ride...
