Team 11 - Blue's Clues **

My name is Jamie, I live south of Lincoln, Nebraska and have been with this program since the start. Married with 2 kids, finding the time to ride can be a challenge... especially since getting diagnosed with MS 8 years ago and needing to rely on outside help more and more. 

The first member of my team is Clue, who's 21 and I've owned since he was 3.  I've done everything with him from jumping and dressage to moving cattle and showing 4H and open shows... and now pretty much just trail riding.

I got the other member of my team, Cherokee, as a weanling 14 years ago about this time of year (January/February) for my yet unborn daughter. He hasn't been as trained as Clue, but he's a great trail horse.

Last year, Cherokee was still learning to drive, and failed miserably, so the 3rd member of my team is Midnight, a mini/shetland I'd got for my son and had broke to drive last year (my other passion, as I've 'spent some hours' driving draft teams in college and in a couple of my jobs).  Fairly comical, in my opinion, to go from dreaming of owning shires, etc, to owning and driving a mini... though her and her equipment's a lot easier to manage - and cheaper!

I still doubt I'll be logging a lot of miles, but have some hope as long as my daughter (Team Silver Spur) is as excited about doing this as she says.    Looking very much forward to logging some more miles!!
