Happy Thanksgiving, all!

“I’m thankful for peppermints, and that you didn’t dress me up like a turkey and make me pose for photos.”

I’m so thankful for and appreciative of my endurance family and network, for being supportive and keeping me sane and in the saddle. Thank you to everyone who made this past ride season possible, whether you loaned me a horse, a rig, offered crewing, hospitality, trail company, ride advice, or life advice.

And a special thank you to those horses who have shown me the trail between their ears this year. Flash, Roo, Nene, Junior, and of course, my beloved Mimi.
