Happy Thanksgiving !!

As we slide into the holiday season, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving Day!

We hear it every year around this time, but it's true.  The best things in life aren't "things" at all.

True contentment comes from having faith, friends and family to share it

all with.  The older I get, the more I believe this.  Thanks to my family who supports

what I love to do, every day and cheers me on!

I'm thankful for my backyard playground...plenty of room to ride...

I may never be able to explore it all !

I'm thankful God knew what I needed even before I did.  After two and a

half years of searching, He found us a home across the street from these mountains...

(He just loves to bless us....)

 I'm thankful for my love of horses

Growing up, my parents sacrificed every day so we could have and love

our four legged furry friends.

It has truly shaped who I am today.

Happy Trails to you all this Holiday Season!

Blessings, Linda

Desert Colors & Rio Grande Endurance Ride...

I have never seen the west mesa light up like it did yesterday morning.  We had another

great endurance ride on the west mesa near Anthony, NM.

When you live in the desert southwest, you kind of forget about the fall colors, but

yesterday, we had a visit from the fall colors of the midwest.

Ride manager, Randy Eiland, casually mentioned we might like to get photos

over by the dam and when we got there...WOW!  The sun was peeking around

the storm clouds making the red on the mesa look spectacular.

Watching everyone climb this hill was neat.  Our sport rocks!

Yep, I'm pretty much in love with the wild, wild, west!

Thanks Randy, for the chance to ride 55 miles AND take photos!

And many thanks to the volunteers and our terrific ride vets!

Until next time,  Linda
