Team 46 - Auer **

auer

I am a middle age woman that has LOVED horses since I can't remember when!!  I finally owned my first horse when I turned 14 yours old.  I was more interested in horses then boys!!  I have lived in southeastern Nebraska where I was born, raised, went to school, married, had our family for my entire life.  Boring, yes to some I know, but I would not trade this for any other way of living. 

Riding is relaxing for me and I enjoy meeting new people, going to new places, hooking up with old friends and riding.  I own three horses and live on an acreage.  I purchased a nice paint gelding last fall (2010) and have truly learned to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.  My geldings name is Scout, and I also ride a mare and her name is Babe. 
I am fairly new to trail riding, but not to camping.  I am finally "living my dream" to get the truck hooked up, load up and go meet friends to ride for the day or days!  I really enjoy the camping and the bonding time this brings for me.  I probably will not post that many miles like many of you, but I will enjoy reading and seeing where everyone is traveling to, their adventures and the distances they are logging. 

Happy Trails!!!  Alice
