Cay was our best trail riding partner. For several years, we’d ride out with her and her rider every summer evening that I was there. We’d go exploring, park Fetti behind her, and trust that the four of us could … Continue reading →
Let’s wander away from the “Confetti is broken and we’re never doing endurance again” theme I have going here. That’s not so much fun to write about, and probably not so much fun to read about. Someday our river access … Continue reading →
