I'm Mark Taylor from Nebraska. I have watched my wife Cheryl participate in the Distance Derby the last two years. I decided to join in the fun for 2014!
I ride the young horses and my bridle horse The Stormy Kid. Stormy is a red dun QH gelding we raised and trained. I will also be putting miles on a 3 year old paint mare, Tia and starting two 2 year olds.
Looking forward to the ride!
Well, Cheryl, we are going to need to pick up our game with Mark in the running now!
ReplyDeleteExactly! Day one, ride one he's already ahead of me!
