Thank You to all the riders, family and friends that made the 2021 Re-Ride a success, The mochila holding two years of letters having bigger pockets and being heavier was a challenge for all. Thank You to all I hope you had a safe and enjoyable ride.

We have plenty of time leaving Cold Springs Station to get the final leg of Section 7. I wasn’t scheduled to get the mail till about 11pm and it was only 330pm. I did have to make the tough decision to back out of an earlier section in 7 because my boys needed a good rest. Did I mention we were short A LOT of riders this year? Since we still had lots of daylight left, I took Kaity to where she needed to pick me up from at Grubb’s, Continue Reading

It’s darn near 1am and we are finally bedding down for some semblance of sleep across HWY 50 from Sand Mountain. Kaity pitches a tent outside and I make a bed in the backseat of the truck. The boys are saddle-free and tied to the trailer eating away. I set the alarm for 3:30 so I can check the Pinger and website to see when the pony might be here. We are scheduled to get it at 6:30am.

Apache picks up a canter, we interrupt a soccer game, and head to the eastbound side of HWY 50. It’s, Continue Reading

It’s finally here! After a chaotic morning of last-minute prep and wondering whether or not I was going to run out of gas in my SxS as I did the 6-mile roundtrip to the mailbox to pick up the ride pins, Kaity shows up, we load the ponies and head to Woodfords Station for the CA to NV Handoff and start of Section 1. We get there just after 11am and most everyone is there getting ready-go team! We learn CA is about 20 minutes behind schedule-not too shabby as, Continue Reading
