Christmas Day Hack

December 27, 2013

Rich and I had a nice breakfast and coffee together Christmas morning.

We noticed both dogs were bouncing off the walls. I was feeling unexercised, and Rich needed space to cook dinner. The decision was easy, I loaded up Simon and the dogs and we drove to a nearby trail.

Runkles Gap, also known as Cub Run, is one of the closest spots in National Forest for me to get in a quick ride. Although it is a little boring, it works well for a one or two hour hack.

Simon felt great and both dogs couldn’t have been more pleased. We got in a nice ride and were back in plenty of time for dinner.

Piece of mind, exercise, pony time, and exercised dogs, it was a great Christmas Day ride.

Here is another throw back, Pre-digital photography, hence the amazing quality. The action shots are actually professional photos that I scanned into the computer years ago.

IMGA (International Mounted Games Association) World Team Championships, held in France in 1997. It rained and rained and was incredibly flooded.

In these photos I am riding Chuckles. He is my all time favorite borrowed pony. We really clicked and he was amazingly fun to ride. The fact that I can still remember his name more than 15 years later should say something.

Amazing experience.

Also, games riders, you might note the socks in these photos.

Team (left to right in team photo) – Chris Reed, Kenneth (Lawrence) Mcfawn, Michael Brinkley, Colleen (Morris) Rutledge, myself Krista Wilson Muldoon, (not pictured) alternate Jo Emblin and trainer Rob Lockyer

I am trying out this “Throw back Thursdays” thing.

Here is a photo of myself and my pony Osh Kosh. I was about 19 years old which puts this in the 1998 time frame. I am at home, in my parents pony paddock.

I still have Osh Kosh. He is in his late 20s/early 30s and out on free lease with a pony club family.

My New Riding Helmet – 2013

December 16, 2013

This evening I arrived home just past dark, and sitting on my porch was a box from Adams, with my new riding helmet in it.
*lame post alert*
I put it in, adjusted the chin strap, and sat around on the couch “breaking it in” for a while.

Daisy joined me for a photo op.
