Mighty Hawk rides again - I DO love that horse!  He is Holly's and my mentor 
and even tho we're not doing much these days but settling into our new home, 
we still can dream :).  We did do a 10 mile ride in some pretty toasty S. 
Texas heat the other day - our first in quite a while - and she and I were 
both feeling it - I'm sure this was extreme.  Congratulations, Mary and Hawk 
on your completion and Thank you for keeping Holly and I inspired...
Suzi and Holly who will eventually get back in the game...




"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in 
a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, 
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming 'WOW! What a 
Ride'"
