I went to Wild West with four** full boots and came home with one full boot, one shell, and two captivators. The question keeps coming up: why am I continuing to use Renegades? Booting/ride recap: Ride Bear 2012: First ride … Continue reading →
I came off on Saturday evening – it was supposed to be a mellow, low-speed jaunt with friends. Confetti was up, but not unreasonably so, and being polite about it. I failed to consider that she hadn’t really worked since … Continue reading →
