What is it about this sport that has us all possessed? Whatever it is, it's a good thing. Even though my husband wishes I would trade my spirited Mustang and Arabian in for a big Warmblood like his and mosey on down I don't know, but after falling 5 miles into Hog Wild and breaking my tailbone and herniating a disk in my neck, I cannot WAIT until this weekend at Cinquenta Anos. I finished Hog Wild, saw the Doctor and there is no way I am telling them I'm doing another 50 this coming weekend. The three weeks I spent not riding drove me crazy. Then I read Julie Suhr's book again, and now I am frothing at the mouth to do another ride. Riding this weekend was a joy, saw at least 13 other riders out yesterday while riding the trails. It is great to live in a community that gets it. Horses, horses, everywhere.... Tiffany
