Hey Cheryl, good for you to get all of the work done on your youngster. Your time and energy and patience will pay off in the end. I just got back from a great 3 week ride in Vermont. What a beautiful State with the fall colours comeing out, it was…

Cheryl, depending on how many years back you were last in Dresden you might not recognize it. It now has a traffic light right smack dab in the middle of town...the main drag has not changed all that much many of the old store fronts are there but…

Shirley, I feel your pain with the heat. I think Michigan and Ontario share that. It has been brutal here for the last couple of days. Good news is, that the weekend will bring with it some cooler temps...thing is we need rain so very badly. Living…

Gee it is quiet here...anyone got some horse camping plans for the summer. I just got back from a little one (week) in Ontario, and will head out again in July for a short one again in Ontario. Got two trail horses that I hate to see stagnate in the…

Hey all, what a great idea to join with the Back Country Horsemen, been watching their website for years, and am always interested in what they are up to. Fortunately I have been able to get out there to the mountains many times and done a lot of…

Hi Eileen,
I am afraid I really don't know of any such places - but the site above would be a great place to stop, although I am not sure if they allow campers - they do have the largest and…
Eileen replied to Marti Langley's discussion 'Any trail riders out there? Team sorters? Anyone from NorCal??'
a couple of friends and myself are talking about heading east this year with our horses and trailers. We want to at the very least reach NB or maybe even the coast, that remains to be seen. perhaps we will go the US way out there then back Canadian…
Eileen replied to Cindi Roberts's discussion 'Things that let You know might be an Older rider if.....??' in the group The Over 40 Rider
Actually i don't see myself at the age of 66 as an older rider. merely a rider with a bit of experience. i have ridden since i was a kid on the farm. never took lessons,never had an indoor arena, never took my pony to the local county fair. it…

Well i went for short ride yesterday in a State park not far from here. i picked up my neighbor and we borrowed a couple of horses from friends of mine and went out for a short while. my neighbor does not get to ride very often, so we only stayed…

Yes W. Acres does have a nice set up, and the people are so nice, always ready to accomodate.
Ontario needs more of these private horse campgrounds as a lot of the govt parks do not cater to any horse activities unless harrassed. They do have a nice…

Yes at our age we do not want to be mistaken for a Whine rather than a aged fine Wine. lol there is a big diff. I try not to whimper too much if things don't go right. If the body is whining and not willing the sprit gets out the Wine...works…

Hi Eileen,
I am afraid I really don't know of any such places - but the site above would be a great place to stop, although I am not sure if they allow campers - they do have the largest and prettiest trails around here - Good Luck!

- Well right now, you are the lucky one, you did not waste your time and money busting your butt to get down here to get out of the cold...it is nasty cold and wet right now. We have had a week of colder than usual for down here, frost, etc. It will freeze tonight for sure and probably tomorrow as well. We had a beautiful day yesterday and wham, it started raining last night and basically has not quit since. They say that this is a record breaker for the length of time it has stayed so cold and the temps. Nights the temps are getting down into the 20's in a lot of place north of here. The farmers have been trying to keep the frost away from the crops but they are fighting a losing battle with no reprieve during the day light hours. Stay warm,

Gail Morse said… - Well, I think you made the right decision by leaving the wintery mess. High winds and cold weather has made riding this winter less than appealing. I went on strike and kept the horse moving by having all the barn people have a go on him. I have had to end my strike as he made it clear that he was glad to see me one day so over I go if only to offer an apple and a run in the arena. The shortest day of sunshine is past and we can go forward. I wonder if you are in the area of Florida that is in the cold weather. We have seen pics on the neww where the orange and some other fruit crops could be compromised. Talk at you soon. Gail.

- Hey Eileen! Our group of the over 60's has not been active for a long time. I am still kicking around and actually got confirmation of being old when I got the first pension cheques this week. What are you up to and when do you leave for Florida-the other half of your charmed life. Thought I should check in and see if you will have access to email when you are away for the winter. Happy trails . Gail and Pekoe.

lark campisano said… - Hello Eileen, you must come ride with us this winter. I belong to the SFTRs club out of Miami and they camp at Belle Meade Thanksgiving and I plan to go this year with them. We have a 2700 acre conservation area/horse park out our back door where we spend endless hours riding. I have an extra horse for you. Also every January we do a New Year's ride/BBQ to make all aware of this park, last year had 45 riders and fed 75 and it is all free. Date next year is Sun. 1/10/10. Keep in touch. Lark

- WoW! Can I ever relate to flies ie horse's face flies. I have found I have to use bug spray every time I ride. You are right about the mental cruelty part of it. He used to ride but ran out of money for the boarding so we just have the 1 now that is mine. That would be the reason I am still working. Working on the Freedom 85 plan. Talk at you soon! Gail.
