Team 81 - Murphy and the Spots *



My name us Lorie McCrone and I live in Port Crane, NY along with my husband  Joe, my horse Murphy and my 2 Dalmatians, Kellie and Dooley. I have ridden all my life and spent every summer vacation at my grandparent’s farm riding their draft horses bareback.


In 2000 I started going to a local stable and had the opportunity to ride many different horses over the course of the first year.  One of them was Murphy, who was a 5 year old gelding, 16.2 h Standard-bred/Quarter Horse cross. His owner had purchased him to compete in dressage events and spent big bucks to have him educated at a prestigious east coast stable. The day he returned his owner was eager to see his new moves and everyone was watching as she saddled him. What happened next took everyone by surprise. Murphy reached his head over the cross tie, grabbed his owner's skin with his teeth and pulled the flesh off her arm from the wrist to her elbow. That was the last time she touched Murphy.


The owner immediately put him up for sale and fully disclosed the reason he was available. Fourteen months went by and although she kept dropping the price no one wanted to take a chance.  I rode Murphy about once a week and never had a problem with him, but I did not want the cost and responsibility of owning my own horse. Then one day in June I was told it was Murphy's "last day".   He was being shipped to Alpo for dog food.  I called the owner to ask how much Alpo was paying for him and she said about 40 cents a pound ($500). I gave her the cash and the rest, as they say, is history.  And Murphy has never bitten me or anyone other than his first owner. Go figure. 


The year after I bought Murphy, I built a barn in my backyard, fenced in so me acres, and ride the hills with him almost everyday. My Dals and I have logged thousands of miles and experienced many adventures.

    Went out this morning and the temp was 45! Most of the snow was gone and the ground was really wet but had a very pleasant ride. By the time I got back the weather was changing and by 1 PM the temp had dropped to 20 and the wind was fierce.

    It looked really nice today! (after record breaking sub zero -15 yesterday) So I bundled up and started out .. but .. oh boy oh boy! The wind chill and ice turned me right around. We got out of the pasture and on to the road but the paths were a sheet of ice.

    It was 56 today!!! But it did rain and the last half of my ride was an absolute downpour. The ground still had some snow and so it was like looking through reverse fog. The sky was clear but at ground level it was so foogy it looked unreal. Saw lots of tracks, especially coyote.

    I have been using the same path as it is getting icy and I know where the ice is on these trails. The temperature is expected to be in the minus for the next week so this may be my last ride for a couple of days.
