Some may call us crazy….but mostly we just really enjoy being out on the trail. We’re no different from you, we have a horse that we enjoy riding, so we’ve found a discipline that allows us to compete on the trails. We all started with not-so-fit horses and many of us started as (and still…

After attending the FITS ride in the Ocala Florida area in early March it made me long for our ride season. I was lucky enough to score a horse for the 50 mile ride and another one for the 25 mile ride but let me tell you was I stiff after riding 2 days in…
