My name is Colleen Hamer and I live in Blair Nebraska. I have been riding horses for over 45 years. I tried to retire from full time horse training but I got drug back into it when I saw a need to help unwanted rescue horses. I now train horses for the Star Equine Rehabilitation Program which is a part of the Nebraska Humane Society. I own 2 horses of my own, Smore and Ringo who I enjoy riding on trails, chasing cows, participating in clinics and occasionally riding in trail courses.

ReplyDeleteRode Dervish on a great adventure. Started out riding through neighbors land. It is so beautiful there. There is a dam with a pond and they have benches set up so people can watch birds. Then there is a water hydrant and tank back in one corner of the property where we did some desensitizing to scary things. Rode out on to the min. maint. rd and then veered off into an unplanted field that went as far as you could see to the south. Rode a long way down there then crossed over the creek and ended up in an unfenced pasture that bordered a beanfield. Around the beanfield there alfalfa had been planted and there were windrows. We rode along that border to see if we could get through some way back to the road that we started on. Came to a dead end eventually and had to double back. I was getting pretty tired...we had been out a lot longer than I had planned. Lost track of time and got lost to boot. Went back the way we came and took a different min. maint. rd back to the main road. Worked on getting Dervish to stay with me and not be chargy and forward. Good luck with that. It was a battle for sure. But we made it home in one piece. My ass was sore and so was my left knee.
