Grant

This is Grant

He doesn't know it yet but we are going to become good buddies!

I'm part leasing him for the time being.....He's pretty cool!

More to come on our fun!

I'll try to get better photos of him!

New Barn

So I found a new barn to ride at. Kismet Farms in Martinez. I like it so far. The photos I took don't do it justice.

 This is the road out to miles of trails and the cross country course :-)

If you look close you can see the indoor. The outdoor is behind the trees. You can see a little cross country jump there and another road you can take out to the trails.

I see fun times ahead!

Flying Horsless

Hi my name is Sheila and I'm flying horseless. By this I mean I've been riding over 20 year and never really owned my own horse.
I got the horse bug when I was 7. My silly parents thought it would be fun to let me ride the neighbors horse a little bit. I'm sure they regret that now. I was hooked. I begged for more.
They found a teenager with two horses and they let us go out on trail rides. Looking back I can't imagine how I survived. Knowing nothing and racing down the trails with no helmets but I did and it eventually let to lessons when the girl moved.
Lessons of course turned into working at the barn which was fantastic until my parents decided it was too much of a hassle to drive me that far all the time. Sigh......
So I joined the local 4-H program. After the club cycled through a few crazy leaders we finally got a good one......And I met the love of my life.. Meet Chalie.

He was 23 when I met him and had been a champion hunter/jumper back in his day. Still had enough in him to teach me. I rode him until I left for college. He passed during my first year back at school while I was home on break. I think he waited for me to come home and say goodbye.

College was pretty horseless aside from the three quarters. Two I took some western riding classes and one I got to take and english riding class.

After college I moved to Napa and started riding/ working for an eventing barn. I fell in love with the sport and with this guy.

That's Pluto. He's pretty cool but one of the problem with flying horseless is when you have to move barns the horse doesn't go with you. Miss that guy. Now I'm again Flying Horseless and trying to find a new pal at my new barn. Wish me luck!
