Tiki's tops!


Though she's looking relaxed here, Tiki's quite a mover. Mark rode at the trot for the first time in years yesterday! And he'll be riding Tiki on the trail ride, too.

Winning Races

Yeah! My guy's a winner at many things, but two recent victories stand out. We've been raising money for SIRE's Rideathon. We worked our way, thanks friends, onto the list of top fundraisers, so my guy gets to ride a trail ride at 7IL Trails in Cat Spring, Texas. We celebrated our 10th anniversary with friends and family at a horse show just down the road in Bellville many years ago.

Even better, Dear Husband walked his 6 minute test 30% faster this month than last. And his scores on the Berg balance scale improved by 20%. His reward? Another month of training twice a week using the Loko-mat.
