Team 85 - Leather and Lace *



My name is Penny Ball and I live near North Platte, NE.  2013 was my first year in the DD and I enjoyed it immensely.  I debated whether or not to join in 2014 but decided to throw in my hat again.

I have set some training/performance goals for us this year so I'm sure I won't be logging as many miles.  Of course that also means I won't be as driven to ride in single digit temps or double digit wind speeds!  Or maybe my house will be cleaner in 2014 and my husband won't have to eat as many leftovers.  (Probably not so much the last but he can hope!)

I am hoping that Jez, Lucifer, Sundance and Ace enjoy our time together.  I look forward to reading about everyone's excursions again this year.  I enjoyed "chatting" with fellow riders last year via the blog.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone's pics on the FB page.

Whatever your goals are I hope you attain then.  Safe and happy trails!

  1. Today was my first ride of the year. it sure doesn't take long for the horses to enjoy their break and feel their oats, does it? It was a nice day for a ride with my daughter and granddaughter.

    The miles are racking up slower this year because I'm concentrating on quality and not quantity this year. My palomino mare is getting her first rides put on and 1 mile sure seems like 5 sometimes. Jez and I have been concentrating on our communication and ground work. Our relationship is improving and yesterday's ride was very satisfying.
