I'm not 100% settled in to my new home, but I think it's readable enough and it's got all my posts/comments, so I'll let yall take a look at fundersgoodidea.com ! A few questions I'm anticipa...

Everybody’s favorite question is “what do you eat?” Even the experienced people are looking for new ideas, so here’s what I managed, roughly in order. (Remember, I can’t eat gluten, so...

So we’d walked in to camp, whooping and hollering, and convinced our tired ponies to trot out one more time, and we were done. I got Dixie parked at her buffet, pulled her tack, and blanketed ...

So last weekend Dixie and I finished our first hundred. What a ride. What a horse! I think I have to start back in January, when my truck started making a Very Bad Noise. You know how when yo...

Kaity and Kody did a great job babysitting Team Fixie (and Jaya and Asali, at the end) through our first successful hundred! We finished at 2:18 for a 17:38 ride time. I'm alternating between g...

I hate flip-flopping. I'm one of those people who tries to not say anything until I'm sure about it, but here we go: I changed my mind. I worked really hard for this, and while I don't deserve t...

I'm not going to 20 Mule Team. The truck is making a Mysterious Noise, and despite four visits to two mechanics, copious Internet Detecting, and asking my mechanically inclined friends, it's stil...

January is a wrap, and here's my completed calendar: It's about 80 miles total for Miss D. There's a couple of rides with no mileage listed that were just at a walk, or were just a few miles, ...

We’re less than one month out from 20 Mule Team. Traditionally (based on my vast experience) this is the time of year when I feel like a) everything we did the previous year was a fluke and ...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2014/01/were-less-than-one-month-out-from-20.html
So y'all know that I'm from the south, and that Dixie was a former show horse. To be a padded show TWH in the South is to suffer, pretty much all the time until your career is over. Here's a Worl...

This one goes out to Andrea, who just did her first LD (on the first Selle Francais in the database, no less!) I'm super happy for her! She hasn't finished posting her ride story, so no spoil...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2014/01/thoughts-on-moving-up.html
One of the things I was really obsessed about as an aspiring endurance rider, and as a total newbie, was "but how far should I be riding?" I asked everybody I knew, and I got answers all over t...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2014/01/but-how-oftenfar-do-you-ride-december.html
So back in, like, September, the WSTF (the Tevis foundation) had a fundraiser race to bank some money to help rebuild the trail after the American Fire this summer. I decided I should put my ...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2014/01/starting-2014-off-with-bang.html
This is a hard post for me to write. Most of what I do is either a) clearly stupid or b) uncontroversial within my discipline, but joint injections are a little more contentious. Like most en...

On December 7, 2007, I bought a five year old horse. She was very pretty, and quite skittish, and she clunked around on some of the worst feet I've ever seen IRL, but something in her eyes sai...

I know, it's not the end of 2013 yet, but it's the end of the AERC ride year. So! In 2013, Dixie and I started seven rides and finished four of them. The best part of that awful record? ...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2013/12/year-end-wrapup-and-on-to-next.html
Everything went right! Yall know that I've had a rough year - 2012 went absolutely perfectly, then 2013 has been a seemingly neverending series of "learning experiences." I don't regret a ...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2013/12/2013-gold-rush-shuffle-50.html
I'm one week out from our next 50, this coming Saturday at Gold Rush Shuffle (pdf link). I'd wanted to do one last 10-15 mile ride, just to check that all systems are still go. What I ended ...
http://fundersgoodidea.blogspot.com/2013/11/an-extra-long-ride-at-briones-reservoir.html
So last week I got to pick up Adventure The Trailer from the repair shop. They welded in a new "stud" and remounted the hi-tie on it - it's quite good work up close. Yay! Let's never do th...

I've gotten a lot of barefoot trimming questions over the years, and I've been meaning to put up a megapost about trimming for quite a while. But I'm the queen of Impostor Syndrome - I can't ...

G and I hadn't been home at all since 2009, and that was a two-day pit stop as we moved west. We hadn't visited our friends in Memphis since 2008! It was long overdue, but we finally flew hom...

So I got the color finished on my tattoo a couple weeks ago. It was super-bright at first, then it peeled and looked extra-gross, and now it's pretty much fully healed. I really love the...

This weekend I got out to another regional park, Tilden, to ride with a new friend K and her friend E. K is an elegant, classy, former dressage rider who is interested in possibly slumming with u...

I got my Dixie-tattoo started today. He drew up some art... Transferred it... Whanged away at me for an hour And in another hour, the blackwork was done. I'll go back in two w...
