Team 41 - Juanita**



Team 41 Juanita, didn't make the top ten in 2013, but  the horses were always on mark to be wonderful.  We ride mostly paints except for our reining show horse.  We have traveled so many wonderful places with the horses, that my life, while it isn't what I want, has been blessed.  Was able to take another derby rider with me to southern Missouri last year for her first ever horse vacation.  I think I had about as much fun watching her.  Here is a toast to Ray and safe rides for all those in the derby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2012 /  2026 Miles / 1st PLACE
2013 / 1002.52 Miles / 12th Place

  1. 2.67 miles period. Meme and I are on for tomorrow, to beat the dirt. I decided part of the fun is the speed which is something I didn't do in 2013 and miss the buckskin paint because of it, oh well fatty and Lena will have to do and anything else someone might want to loan me.

  135. 38.10 miles Wednesday thru Sunday
    MTD 1222.15 Had so many people to ride with again this week, was thankful for that. Only rode alone and my shortest miles was Saturday, on the big boy of Allie's. Got a fast ride on the beer run and we checked our speed and it was way better than we thought, as we went along. Now for the rain to stop and hit the fields. Hit my second goal with this now onto another goal. First goal was 1000, second was this , didn't think I would make it after all the work this summer. Doesn't look like there will be any riding today with the rain and mud.
